Immortality is above

Chapter 114 113: The truth

"Fire arrows!"

Zhao Bin did not hesitate and immediately waved his hand to give the order.

He didn't know what was going on outside, but hearing the screams was definitely not a good thing.

A row of archers lined up, bent their bows and set arrows, and shot arrows like rain towards Emperor Yankang.

They are all dead soldiers raised by Zhao Bin's sect. They don't have the old emperor in their eyes, only the orders of His Highness.

Chi Chi Chi!

Strong bows and sharp arrows can penetrate thick armor at such a short distance.

However, when they hit Emperor Yankang's face, they were immediately entangled in wisps of black energy, and then fell to the ground one after another.

He was sitting tremblingly on the dragon bed. His body was so thin that he could hardly hold up the clothes he was wearing. People immediately thought of a word: "Withered bones in the grave"!

He grinned and said: "My good son, do you know my original plan? We were originally going to hold a ceremony to sacrifice to heaven, but the sacrifice was not to heaven, but to me. It's a pity that time doesn't wait for us, and someone who shouldn't have appeared appeared. people..."

Seeing that the sharp arrows could not cause any harm, Zhao Bin began to panic and retreated step by step.

But the screams from behind were continuous and getting closer and closer. It was obvious that the powerful enemy had appeared and had slaughtered all the soldiers in armor.

how did you do that?

Zhao Bin knew very well the strength of the troops he brought into the palace. They were all selected elite men.

To prevent accidents, from the gate to the front hall, to the corridor, and then to the main hall...

There are arrangements all along the way, which can be said to be a step-by-step preparation, so that you can deal with emergencies and be able to retreat at any time.

But now, the careful arrangement is just like paper, and there is not even the sound of fighting between the two sides.

Who exactly is the enemy who launched the attack?

Completely beyond expectations and imagination.

All in all, he is definitely not a normal person.

For example, Emperor Yankang in front of him was already abnormal.

Zhao Bin was not sure whether his father was a living person or an evil spirit who had his body taken away.

Mr. Lu Da licked his dry lips and said sternly: "Your Highness, for the present plan, we can only fight against the odds."

Zhao Bin smiled bitterly and said: "But how can we fight like this? Who should we fight with?"

"Now the Holy One is clearly possessed by an evil thing. Judging from his appearance, he is weak. We should take the opportunity to kill him."

Speaking of this, he continued: "If we can't attack from a distance, let's rush up and kill them at close range."

"I'll listen to you."

Zhao Bin made a decision quickly.

"on!"

Mr. Lu Da gave an order. As a think tank, his main responsibility was to provide suggestions. Attacking was not his strong point, so he stayed with Zhao Bin.

The first to rush forward were more than a dozen dead soldiers, each of whom abandoned their crossbows and held swords and spears. The blades of the weapons were stained with black dog blood, rooster blood, etc. that had been specially prepared in advance. Some of them were even engraved with talismans and had been polished.

These things were written by Qingyang Taoist and can be used to ward off evil spirits and destroy demons.

The Taoist was born in Zhuxian Temple and has learned Taoist methods, so he has some real materials.

Although strictly speaking, it is just a side door, but it is useful.

At this moment, Zhao Bin suddenly missed Taoist Qingyang and felt that he should take him with him instead of arranging to go to Wenwuxuan.

In fact, the original intention of that arrangement was to let the Taoists deal with Tianlong Temple.

After all, it can be called a real "nest".

Another reason is that I am afraid.

There was a demon monk around Emperor Yankang, and Zhao Bin didn't want a "monster" to appear next to him.

That's how people are. When they need it, they can use their magic skills to accomplish certain shady things without anyone noticing. This is much better than assassins and the like.

But after learning about the ruthlessness of these methods, I was worried that I might be tricked...

Especially the legendary poisons and curses are hard to guard against.

Therefore, when his wings gradually became more mature, Zhao Bin began to consciously alienate himself from Taoist Qingyang, and paid more attention to his great uncle Xia Siyuan and other martial arts masters.

This is also the reason why the Taoist felt that his position was unstable and wanted to find his senior fellow Taoist Qian Yang to help him out.

Now that Zhao Bin encountered an extraordinary disaster, he couldn't help but think of the kindness of Taoist Qingyang. However, at this time, Taoist Qingyang was probably still on the Western Mountain, and it was impossible to rush over to help.

We can only rely on the people around us.

A group of dead soldiers stepped forward bravely, raising their weapons to chop, but they couldn't get close at all, and were instantly entangled by wisps of black energy.

These black energies are very evil in nature, like venomous snakes, coming and going impermanently. Once they get to the body, they burrow in through various orifices.

If you can't close your mouth, you can't cover your back, or your eyes, nose, and ears. Once you lose control and black air enters your body, within a short time, your whole person will shrivel up like a withered fallen leaf at a speed visible to the naked eye.

All the energy and blood in his body were swallowed up, leaving only ugly corpses.

And the whole devouring process, like peeling off skin and pulling out bones, makes people feel very painful. Even though the dead soldier's will was extremely strong, he couldn't help but howl.

Seeing this tragic scene, the martial arts masters who were guarding Zhao Bin recognized him and shouted: "Devil! This is a demon!"

Mr. Lu Da also came to his senses: "Were you the one who committed the murder outside Tongguan?"

The truth of this fact is really unexpected.

At that time, demon incidents were widespread, and countless martial arts masters who came to subjugate and eliminate demons died unexpectedly. However, what is surprising is that overnight, the "demon" disappeared.

Never appeared again.

At that time, there were multiple versions of the story circulating on the market. Some said that an expert took action and killed the demon; others said that the demon had devoured enough flesh and blood, walked away, found a place to hide, and transformed.

In fact, people don't know much about "demon" at all, because those who have seen them are basically dead.

Therefore, whether the other party is a demon, a demon, or some other evil spirit is just a preliminary guess.

However, no matter how imaginative the guessing was, they could not connect the demon with Emperor Yankang. At most, they could only speculate that it was the national master Yuan Kong.

Unexpectedly, everything was just a cover.

The tomb palace is a shell; the Sky Temple is a shell; the National Master Yuan Kong is also a shell...

And is this the way to immortality that Emperor Yankang pursued throughout his life?

Become a demon?

That's not right...

But when Emperor Yankang stood up tremblingly and stood on the dragon bed, he looked like an old man who was very eager to talk, opening his mouth with few teeth left: "I said that a big sacrifice is needed, even if someone It doesn’t matter if it’s interrupted. Because the imaginary sacrifice is incomplete and requires more attempts and exploration. The arrival of you is just right.”

After that, he waved his hand.

The evil wind swept across, and the wisps of black energy began to condense and take shape, turning into two shapes.

The one on the left is a human figure, vaguely resembling a monk, but his clothes are dirty and his back is stooped. Although it contains the meaning of compassion, it also exudes an indescribable stench;

The one on the right is in the shape of a dragon, but it is different from the ordinary dragon, with a human head;

Regardless of the human form or the dragon form, they all show a ferocious meaning, and the whole body is full of black energy, which is devilish energy.

Facing the two demons, everyone led by Zhao Bin fell into despair. Knowing that there was no chance of winning, they had no choice but to retreat and exit the back hall.

But looking around, they were even more desperate.

At some point, the outside was shrouded in black air, with several shadowy figures emerging from it.

Some have the body of a snake and the head of a bird; some have the body of a snake and the head of a human; some have a single horn on their head...

Counting carefully, there are about six.

Plus the two beside Emperor Yankang.

Eight in total.

A total of eight demons!

What is this concept?

An idea flashed in Mr. Lu Da's mind, and he blurted out: "Dragon Babu, that's it, this is Tian Long Babu!"

The "Department" in the Eight Divisions of Tianlong means "department", which means troops.

In the Buddhist scriptures, each one is a "non-human", a Shinto monster, traveling with the Buddha and Bodhisattva. The equivalent of troops following their king.

Who would have thought that Emperor Yankang actually cultivated the Eight Divisions of Heavenly Dragons?

Where did he get this method?

May Kong Master!

There is no doubt that the root of the incident still lies with this mage. What is the story between him and Emperor Yankang is currently unknown.

After all, everyone is missing.

And the Eight Divisions of Heavenly Dragons practiced by Emperor Yankang were obviously not authentic. They were all practiced as demons. How could they be Buddhist Zen methods?

Originally, with the foundation and inheritance of Tianlong Temple, how could it be possible to cultivate the true Buddhist Dharma?

But at this time, whether it is authentic or not is no longer important.

The important thing is that no one can escape under the supervision of the eight demon heads.

Emperor Yankang did not chase him out, but chanted sutras inside. The sutras were clearly audible: "The six paths are impermanent, and there is evil in reincarnation. If you are protected by a heavenly dragon, you will not perish here, so it is said: eternal life..."

"Go!"

Among the crowd, I don’t know who shouted first. The formation surrounding Zhao Bin immediately fell apart. Except for the real dead soldiers, the accompanying master guards could no longer control so many, and fled in all directions, hoping to Find a glimmer of hope and escape.

It's a pity that Emperor Yankang has already said that this Reincarnation Hall is not a main hall, but the layout and design of the tomb palace.

When a living person enters the tomb, it is equivalent to a sacrifice. How can he escape?

After a while, horrifying sounds of chewing and screams came one after another, spreading throughout the hall.

……

The sky in the east was turning white, and it was finally dawning.

Xia Siyuan exhaled a breath and stamped his feet again.

Waiting is undoubtedly the most painful thing.

Especially waiting for the dust to settle on such a big event.

What he experienced on Xishan Mountain made him murmur in his heart, and he was worried that something might happen in the palace.

You know, National Master Yuan Kong is still hiding inside.

According to rumors in the public and private sectors, he is a "demon monk" who masters all kinds of evil magic.

This point has been clearly demonstrated by the changes at Tianlong Temple.

That is definitely a mysterious power that transcends the ordinary world. It is not only mysterious, but also extremely terrifying.

No matter whether they are elite soldiers or martial arts masters, they are all helpless when faced with it and don't know how to deal with it.

How could there be such a terrifying power in this world?

If it can't be solved, wouldn't it be a complete mess?

Although over the years, evil spirits have appeared and the people have been living in dire straits, it has long been a mess.

But that kind of mess can be solved.

Normal demons and evil spirits can basically be quelled by Jingyesi's actions; martial arts masters in the world, upon hearing the news about demons, will even take the initiative to hunt for blood food;

But the extraordinary things displayed in Tianlong Temple are really despairing things.

Fortunately, Chen Liubai came out.

Thinking of the mysterious young man who was too young, Xia Siyuan couldn't help but look up to see if he appeared.

Unfortunately, still nothing was seen.

He could only laugh at himself: The other party's skills and methods were obviously above the common people. The so-called royal dignitaries were probably just like ants in his eyes.

Xia Siyuan felt equally uneasy about this person and almost regarded Chen Liubai and Tianlong Temple together.

Put yourself in the situation, when Zhao Bin ascended to Dabao, he thought that the king of a country could look down on the world, but there happened to be such an extraordinary swordsman who could sneak into the palace at any time and explore the dragon bed at night...

Thinking about it, it is a matter of having trouble sleeping and eating.

Xia Siyuan is not Zhao Bin, but that doesn't stop him from asking himself and coming to such a conclusion.

So, where did Chen Liubai come from?

Of course it is impossible for the three major sects of the Zhao Kingdom to be powerful, but more like the rumored Qi Sect hermits or the like.

Or, the legendary immortal family descends to earth.

For the latter, if true, it would definitely be a shocking event.

Therefore, Xia Siyuan hopes that Chen Liubai can come over. The appearance of such a character cannot be without reason, there must be a purpose.

As long as you master this point, you can get in touch with it and understand it further.

In Zhao State, emperors of all dynasties had the desire and need to seek immortality and seek Taoism, after all, it represented immortality.

Xia Siyuan was going to introduce Chen Liubai to Zhao Bin, which was paving the way.

Whoops!

A gust of cold wind blew against his face, and he suddenly realized that he had fallen into some kind of delusion and was really thinking too much.

The real big deal has not been completely determined yet.

However, after waiting for so long, there was no big movement in the Forbidden City, and the Forbidden Army guarding the city gate looked very calm.

In many cases, no news is the best news.

Xia Siyuan thought again that maybe all of Wan Kong's back-up plans were left in Tianlong Temple. After being destroyed by Chen Liubai's sword, they would no longer be able to cause any trouble.

Time passed little by little.

Suddenly a bell rang in the city.

This is a normal bell, quiet and melodious.

With the sound of the bell and the chirping sound, the gate of the Forbidden City slowly opened.

Seeing this, Xia Siyuan and others breathed a long sigh of relief.

The long night passed safely.

Everyone lined up and entered in order. Thinking that they were about to meet the new emperor, they felt inexplicably excited.

Although I have had contact with Zhao Bin before and received the treatment of Corporal Li Xian, one moment is the same as the other.

When Zhao Bin truly put on the dragon robe and transformed from His Highness to His Majesty, his identity was completely different, and the weight of his words was even different.

The golden words are specific.

According to the instructions from the Forbidden Army general, the group went directly to the Wuying Hall on the side to make ceremonial preparations such as bathing and changing clothes.

Wenhua on the left and Wuying on the right. Before participating in the state ceremony, they need to tidy up their appearance here to avoid being rude.

This is a religious rule.

It's not surprising that there is no one to lead the way. After all, everything has been turned upside down overnight, and everything is waiting to be done. It is difficult to take care of many things at once.

When entering Wuying Hall, they found that the place was empty and the light seemed dim.

On the steps, there was a person standing with his back turned, wearing a dragon robe and standing tall.

Xia Siyuan was overjoyed. He didn't expect that Zhao Bin would be waiting for them here. There must be a special decree issued.

Step forward quickly.

At this moment, the man turned around slowly, with a pale face and a strange smile on his lips.

This face does look a bit like Zhao Bin, but it is definitely not Zhao Bin.

When Xia Siyuan saw it, he exclaimed: "You, you are not...who are you?"

The other party did not answer, but the door of Wuying Palace was slammed shut...

　I feel dizzy, have a stuffy nose, and feel uncomfortable...but these are only two days at the end of the month, so I must update, and I can't miss work...
