kill the immortal

Chapter 49, Chapter 49
The guardians of the gods hovered above the sky, and during the period when the curfew was lifted, Luoyang's prosperity has become a city that never sleeps.

The state banquet is held in the open-air garden of Weiyang Palace. The Empress Dowager, along with all the officials, will invite the foreign envoys of the two countries to the banquet to celebrate together. Those who can participate in this banquet are all officials of the fifth rank or above. Of course, the ceremonial officials and historians will not be there within this requirement.

After Tianhou arrived, the female officials raised their voices to open the banquet, and the ceremony and music in the hall suddenly started, and a group of dancers dressed in seductive costumes came out, singing and dancing at the banquet.

The moonlight is striking, cold and bright.

The banquet was very casual, and the officials gathered together holding their glasses of wine. An Yan also saw Yu Zongqian and Yu Wenjian, who were on Yu Jingtang's side, talking and laughing with everyone around them.

· The envoys of the two countries sat in the seats near the Queen of Heaven to show their closeness.

Besides them, there was also a middle-aged man whom An Yan had never seen before, with a dignified appearance, wearing a white robe that was different from ordinary court clothes, with red tattoos on it.

"This is Shiqin, the head of Tiangong Academy." Tianhou introduced to the envoys.

Mu Yuanqing and Luo Zhihuan immediately stood in awe, cupped their hands and said, "It turns out that they are the descendants of Qian Shenggong, and they have met the head of the hospital!"

An Yan could tell that when the two men mentioned Gan Shenggong, the respect shown in their expressions was not fake.

He thought of Shi Lengcen, who also came from the same sect as the Shiqin in front of him. This Shiqin was in charge of the Luoyang and Chang'an Xuanji factories, and he was a real important person in the country. Xuantang's monk resources, the Shi clan are not ordinary people.

Luo Zhihuan praised the prosperous Tang Dynasty he saw after entering the city, which was enviable.

However, An Yan always felt that among these envoys, some eyes were looking at him intentionally or unintentionally, even at the court, he was an inconspicuous historian, why could he meet the eyes of the female cultivator.

Could it be that they discovered their status as monks? !
At the banquet, all the guests were drinking wine, dancing and singing wildly. Some people recited poems on the spot, and some blushed and swayed into the center of the dancers.

When the passion was in full swing, several officials in white robes pushed a machine covered by a red cloth to the center and drove the dancing girls away.

Seeing this, the officials couldn't help talking about it.

"What is this?"

"It's so strange."

Shiqin, who was approaching Tianhou, saluted Tianhou at this time, stood up, walked to the edge of the steps, and raised his voice.

"My colleagues!"

During the banquet, everyone fell silent, and Si Le from the Ministry of Rites became more relaxed.

"This is a new product of my Tiangong Academy. It is called the shadow tracing instrument. I will present it to the Queen of Heaven during this feast."

The two white-robed officials tore off the red cloth, revealing the entire appearance of the instrument.

The whole body is made of metal, with dragon and phoenix carvings on it. The overall shell is square, with a flat and long cylinder in the middle, and a round glass at the end.

An Yan couldn't help being startled when he saw this.

Backtracking...

I also heard Shi Qin say: "This object can record the current image and project it at any time in the future."

It is so!

An Yan thought to herself.

Shi Qin said: "It's just a dictation, you may not be able to understand it, but is there any adult willing to try it?"

"I'm coming!" After the words were finished, a man with a swaying figure and a fluffy walk walked out from among the officials, obviously drunk.

"Master Xie, please go to the shadow tracing machine."

This person's name is Xie Linghan, and he is a bachelor of Jixiandian Academy. He is responsible for compiling, sorting out and collation of classics.

Xie Linghan staggered to the shadow tracing machine, and his appearance made many people around him laugh. He looked around and asked the white-robed official, "What do you do next?"

The white-robed official also suppressed a smile and said, "Master Xie can do whatever he wants?"

Xie Linghan's eyes flickered, he turned around in a circle, looked at the Queen of Heaven who was in the main seat, pondered for a moment and then chanted loudly:
"There is a Tang Dynasty in Zhaozhao, and heaven serves all nations.

The ancestors obeyed the order, and the four sects followed the order.

Shenxi has no boundaries, and we all share the same virtue.

Great-grandson Jixu, enjoy the gods and match the pole. "

The whole banquet fell silent, only the sound of rites and music was left, and everyone was listening to him finishing his poem, but after Xie Linghan finished reading the last sentence, he breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes widened angrily, and he covered his mouth with one hand and walked away quickly In the same place, he vomited in the garden beside him.

The rest of the officials burst into laughter when they saw this.

At this time, the white-robed official beside the shadow-tracking machine suddenly flipped a switch on the machine, and in an instant countless rays of light were projected from the cylinder of the shadow-tracking machine, forming a three-dimensional image on the open space in front. Xie Linghan just now.

"There is a Tang Dynasty in Zhaozhao, and the sky is blessed by all nations..."

Seeing this scene, An Yan was extremely surprised, and couldn't understand the working principle of this instrument at all for a while.

Holographic projection?How did you do it?
All the civil and military officials present were equally astonished.

Tianhou nodded in satisfaction: "That's right, this thing can be of great use, Shiqin, you have made a great contribution!"

Shiqin bowed and said: "Queen of heaven, this is not my work alone."

The Queen of Heaven smiled lightly and said, "Of course they will be rewarded. For those who have made merit, you can go back and write a list and hand it over."

"Thank you, Holy Grace!"

After Shiqin sat down, Tianhou's eyes moved slightly, she turned to Mu Yuanqing and Luo Zhihuan and asked, "What do you two think of this thing?"

Luo Zhihuan said: "This thing benefits the country and the people, the head of the hospital must be famous in history!"

However, a few young monks beside him said in private: "The photo stone is not a rare thing in our place, and it is so cumbersome and troublesome, what is there to show off."

But a female voice retorted him: "Idiot, once this shadow tracking machine is popularized, ordinary people can use it, and the shadow stone must be driven by spiritual energy, of course the meaning is different."

"To put it bluntly, it is still a mortal thing!"

Many ministers were interested in the shadow tracing machine, and surrounded them to ask the two white-robed officials.

The banquet was almost over, Tian Hou got up and left.

Seeing this, An Yan also planned to leave, but from the corner of her eye, she saw that Mu Yuanqing and Luo Zhihuan were looking at her, both with faint smiles.

Sure enough, it was exposed...

An Yan remained calm, and also left the banquet. Before leaving the palace, she saw Lu Kui waiting for her on the only way, and then went to the Purple Orchid Palace with her.

When we were in the Weiyang Hall, it was still a bustling scene, but when we arrived at the Zilan Hall, it was instantly quiet.

Master Xuanyi sits on the couch with his eyes closed, resting his mind, his whisk rests on one side, his face is covered by a translucent veil, and An Yan takes advantage of this to admire her delicate eyebrows and eyes, as well as the vague outline under the veil, without blinking. .

When she opened her eyes, An Yan said, "Why did the real person call me?"

Master Xuanyi looked at her and said, "Yangshen is indeed dead!"

An Yan thought about it: "How did the real person know?"

"Today, someone told me."

An Yan was a little surprised, thinking that it might be those monks.

"What does this have to do with us?"

"It's related." Master Xuanyi said coldly.

"Open the Three Realms Gate, let the monks outside the pass come in, and reshape this world!"

This kind of thing has already been clearly rejected by Tianhou, but right now Master Xuanyi still said it out.

An Yan looked at her face and pondered for a long time, then asked, "Really, do you want... to become a god?"

Master Xuanyi said indifferently: "Beyond the Three Realms Pass, there will indeed be spiritual disasters coming to the world, Yin will prosper and Yang will decline, and Yin cultivators will face the catastrophe of imbuing the gods, but that is for ordinary cultivators."

"Great powers such as cultivators, giants from all over the world, royal families, etc., they can raise a large number of Yangxiu as their own antidote. There are so many monks outside the pass, enough for them to spend endless years. Spiritual disasters are fundamental to them. It’s not a catastrophe, they want to enter the customs because of this opportunity to become gods!”

An Yan's thoughts raced in his mind, and he couldn't help asking: "Then why let them enter the customs? Isn't this equivalent to giving them the chance to become a god?"

Master Xuanyi said again: "Xuantang only occupies a quarter of the spiritual energy in the world, but to become a god, you need to monopolize half of the yin and yang energy in the world. It can be regarded as the real opening of the road to becoming a god!"

An Yan still felt unreliable in her heart, if this kind of thing was really done, Xuan Tang would be in chaos.

"The real person has never thought about what will happen after the monks from outside the pass come in?"

Master Xuanyi sneered and said: "Any monk has a door of life. If the door of life is mastered by others, he will be a slave for eternity! We are the masters, and if they want to enter the customs, they will naturally have to pay the price!"

"What if the Queen of Heaven disagrees?" An Yan asked the last and most critical question.

Master Xuanyi looked at him steadfastly, his eyes were like cold pools, cold and lonely.

She said: "You, you can make her agree!"

"I?"

"Why, have you forgotten what you did before?"

An Yan just frowned and said nothing.

"There is a kind of physique in the world called Hunyuan Physique, also known as Absolute Spirit Physique. They are born with a balance of yin and yang in their bodies. They cannot cultivate, but they are also impenetrable!"

"Tang Zu and Qian Shenggong both have this kind of physique, so the Xuantang royal family and the Shi clan are naturally unable to practice. Similarly, your things will not affect Tianhou."

An Yan pondered: "But the Queen of Heaven, shouldn't she be of royal blood?"

Master Xuanyi pondered for a moment, and said: "After today, she is the younger sister of the late Emperor."

An Yan was startled immediately, no, something is wrong, if it is true as Master Xuanyi said, what is going on with Shi Lengcen...

"Have you heard about the prince?"

An Yan nodded blankly: "I've heard some...the prince was cruel, and died of a sudden illness before he ascended the throne."

"The former prince was the product of the incest between Tianhou and the first emperor, so he was perverse and violent by nature. Tianhou respected Wu Fenglan. In fact, his real surname was Li. There were no more than three people in the court who knew about it."

"Those three people... are the three masters of martial arts?" An Yan asked.

"Yes, Yu Jingtang, Wenren Yunjian, Shen Tuying and Tianhou are playmates since childhood."

An Yan suddenly understood why Yu Jingtang and Shen Tuying were so loyal to the Empress Dowager, allowing a woman to sit in court for more than ten years without establishing a crown prince.

The Queen of Heaven is the blood of the Xuantang royal family!

Such a secret sounded too shocking, and the noble and majestic figure of the Queen of Heaven could not help appearing in his mind.

Soon, An Yan calmed down again, and asked: "What's the use of saying this, since the Empress Dowager is a supernatural body, what can I do?"

Master Xuanyi looked calm, and said: "It's not that there is no way out for the body of the Absolute Spirit."
