Chapter 23 Chapter Twenty-Three

Di Qing was shocked by the magnificent and strange scene in front of him, his heart throbbed for a moment, and he didn't pay attention to Li Shunrong.After realizing that Li Shunrong had disappeared, he almost cried out. Zhao Zhen also discovered this, couldn't hold back anymore, and screamed wildly.The voice was miserable, full of disbelief and terror.Di Qing grabbed Zhao Zhen and shouted, "Your Majesty, stop calling." "Your Majesty, stop calling." A voice came out almost at the same time as Di Qing. When Zhao Zhen heard the voice, he stopped suddenly and looked down. There was a hint of relief on his pale face, and more of a grievance.He blinked, tears welled up, and choked up, "I... I thought you didn't want me anymore."

The person who spoke was Li Shunrong.Only then did Di Qing notice that they were standing at the entrance of the palace, and there was a step leading down.And Li Shunrong was standing on the steps below. If Di Qing had seen the steps earlier, he would never have been so panicked.But he is also an ordinary person, shocked by the strangeness of the palace, he didn't notice the steps under his feet. "What are you doing down there?" Di Qing asked calmly. Li Shunrong said slowly: "Although the first emperor said that the road ahead is not dangerous, I am always worried, so I will explore first."

Di Qing hesitated and said, "The late emperor...how did the late emperor not die?" Li Shunrong said: "Who said the late emperor is not dead?" Di Qing just glanced at the high platform, Li Shunrong followed his gaze and sighed, "Go and see." She stretched out her hand to hold Zhao Zhen's hand again, and walked forward cautiously. The blue water on the ground is like the sea, but there is a winding corridor leading to the high platform.It turned out that Li Shunrong just now went to test whether the corridor was dangerous. Li Shunrong walked along the corridor, and finally reached the side of the high platform.Looking up, she murmured: "Jump one, three, five, don't walk on even-numbered steps." She stepped up to the first step, not on the second jade step, but straight on third step.

Di Qing was startled secretly, thinking that Zhao Hengduan was very careful, even here, he had set up a trap. The three of them passed over the steps and finally stepped onto the nine-story platform.Li Shunrong breathed a sigh of relief, wiped off his cold sweat and said, "Okay, there is no danger here." Zhao Zhen stared blankly at the person on the high platform, but Li Shunrong only looked at Zhao Zhen.Everything here is weird, in the eyes of Li Shunrong, it is not surprising, her gaze is reluctant to leave Zhao Zhen for a moment. Di Qing also looked at the man in Gaotai, feeling uncertain in his heart.Now he finally saw clearly that the man was standing in the coffin.And the coffin was actually transparent.No wonder when he looked from a distance, he couldn't see the coffin, only one person standing there.

The person in the coffin was dressed in imperial clothes, his face was pale, his eyes were closed, and his expression was majestic. Di Qing took a look, but was still not sure whether the man was dead or alive, because the man's face was lifelike, more like falling asleep.But of course Zhao Heng died, ten years ago, there should be no doubt about it.But what's the reason for Zhao Heng to stand after death in the mausoleum?Zhao Heng has been dead for more than ten years, and the body is still as it was before, so what's the reason? Di Qing couldn't figure it out, and finally moved his eyes away from Zhao Heng's face. Seeing the strangeness of the coffin, he couldn't help but take a second look.Di Qing had never seen a transparent coffin.The coffin seemed to be carved out of a whole piece of transparent crystal, but how could there be such a big crystal in the world?

Di Qing just felt that everything here was weird and unbelievable.I thought to myself that when Zhenzong was alive, the whole country was in a mess. I didn't expect that after death, there would be gods and monsters. His eyes moved away from the coffin, and he glanced at Zhao Heng's hands inadvertently. Suddenly, his whole body was shaken, and his face changed again. Zhao Heng's hands were much larger than ordinary people's, and his five fingers were also much longer. Di Qing suddenly remembered, isn't the three-finger imprint left on the stone table in Chaotian Palace similar to those left by these two hands?

Thinking of this, Di Qing trembled all over, took two steps back, and almost fell off the high platform.His eyes were full of horror, and he murmured: "Impossible, absolutely impossible." Di Qing didn't believe it at all, that the fingerprints were left by Zhao Heng.Zhao Heng died, and he was still standing in the coffin, how could he run out and leave fingerprints on the stone table? Ridiculous. Di Qing's eyes were straightened, and it suddenly occurred to him that Li Shunrong had just seen the handprint on the stone table, and what he said was also what he had just said.

Impossible, absolutely impossible!Could it be that Li Shunrong also suspected that it was Zhenzong's handprint for a long time, and that's why he went crazy and wanted to come here to have a look? Di Qing looked towards Li Shunrong, and when he saw Li Shunrong, he also looked towards him.There was disbelief in the eyes of the two of them.Li Shunrong said in a low voice: "It's not him...the coffin has never been opened." Di Qing wanted to laugh, but he couldn't make a smile, and his voice seemed strange, "Don't tell me...he can...it's impossible." He wanted to say that it was impossible for Zhao Heng to be resurrected, but the words came to his lips side, has been intermittent.

"Who is that?" Li Shunrong asked back. Di Qing couldn't answer. He barely suppressed his heartbeat and said after a long time, "I don't know." Zhao Zhen didn't notice Zhao Heng's hand, let alone the handprint on the stone table.He finally calmed down, in front of him was his father, who should protect him regardless of life or death. But Zhao Zhen never thought that his father would be buried in this way.As far as Zhao Zhen knew, when his father was in power, he began to secretly build this mausoleum, and it was not completed until after his father passed away.Only by relying on Empress Dowager Liu to continue to repair, did Yongding Mausoleum come into being.

Does the queen mother know everything here?Zhao Zhen was full of thoughts, so he didn't notice the whispers of Li Shunrong and Di Qing.He looked around for a while, then suddenly felt disappointed, and asked, "Why is there nothing here?" There are sun, moon and stars, a vast ocean, and a coffin on a high platform, but obviously there is nothing Zhao Zhen wants. Li Shunrong asked in surprise: "My lord, what are you looking for?" Di Qing also wanted to ask this question, because he didn't know what Zhao Zhen insisted on coming to Xuan Palace. Zhao Zhen faltered and said: "I want to find..." He looked at it for a long time, then finally shook his head and said, "There shouldn't be anything I'm looking for here." The palace is magnificent, but also simple, and all the items are clear at a glance.Disappointment was written on Zhao Zhen's face, and he suddenly said: "Li Shunrong, didn't you say that there are five gates in Chaotian Palace? Let's go and see what's there!"

Li Shunrong changed his face and said: "My lord, you are relying on the blessing of the late emperor to be safe and sound. I only know how to enter here. I don't know how to open the other five gates. How to enter? I can guide you now." It’s safe to come here only because I know all the institutions in these places, but if I take one wrong step, I will never recover. I don’t know what’s weird behind those five gates, so don’t take risks.” Zhao Zhen was full of disappointment, and said nonchalantly: "You don't know how to open it? What should I do?" He still refused to say what he was looking for until now. Di Qing was strange and dissatisfied, and suddenly felt that Zhao Zhen had arrived here. The place is also full of mysteries. After an unknown amount of time, Di Qing finally couldn't help but said, "My lord, no matter what, we'd better leave here first." Although there was no one here, Di Qing still had lingering fears when he thought of the extra handprint. Zhao Zhen stood dumbfounded for a long time, then glanced at his father's coffin, and murmured: "He won't lie to me...he won't lie to me..." Di Qing didn't know who he was, but with Zhao Zhen's expression on his face, he couldn't help raising his palm and shaking it in front of him. Zhao Zhen came back to his senses suddenly, and said bitterly: "I'm fine, let's go out first." He seemed to have regained his composure, and called himself "I". Li Shunrong breathed a sigh of relief, and led the two of them back the same way.When the jade wall was closed, the three of them turned around along the corridor. Di Qing couldn't help pressing the handle of the knife, paying attention to the movement around him. Before arriving at Chaotian Palace, Li Shunrong opened the colorful door again, and the light came out, illuminating the dark Chaotian Palace. Li Shunrong was just about to tell Zhao Zhen not to walk around, when suddenly his face changed drastically.Di Qing suddenly looked over, and also stood on the spot in a daze.Zhao Zhen was also on the verge of falling, staring straight ahead. The Chaotian Palace was brightly illuminated by the light in the corridor, and Di Qing could clearly see the structure of the Chaotian Palace. In Chaotian Palace, apart from stone tables, chairs and two stone statues, there are only black and white grids and seven portals.In addition to the colorful gate and the jade gate, there are five other gates in the seven gates, which are divided into five colors. Those five portals are all open! A chill rushed into Di Qing's heart. He didn't know the opening and closing of other doors, but the Wumen must have been closed just now, but now, how could they all be opened?Who opened the door?Is it the ghost that left the handprint? Although he couldn't believe it, Di Qing turned his head and looked in the direction where Zhao Heng had parked the coffin, but there was no one behind him.But it was the silence that made Di Qing flustered.Maybe a ghost jumped out, but Di Qing would not be so flustered. Zhao Zhen was able to hold on, seeing the five doors open, ecstasy burst into his eyes, and he murmured: "It's the ancestors' blessing." Di Qing stammered, "My lord, what are you talking about?" He hasn't lost his mind until now, even he himself feels strange.He thought Zhao Zhen seemed a little delirious. Zhao Zhen stared at Di Qing excitedly, and said excitedly: "It was opened by the first emperor. He knew that I was looking for something, so he opened the five doors for me." Di Qing's face was livid, and he thought to himself, do you really think Zhao Heng opened this door?He forced a smile and said, "Your Majesty...you..." Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Zhen had already walked towards the golden gate. Li Shunrong was about to stop him, but seeing Zhao Zhen's excited expression, he followed him. He just reminded him, "Your Majesty, be careful." Di Qing was sweating all over, and followed with his hand on the handle of the knife. Zhao Zhen had already entered the golden gate.Inside the Golden Gate is a room smaller than Chaotian Palace, far less magnificent than the place where Zhenzong's coffin is stored, but everything inside is golden.The light from the outside shines in, making the interior brilliant and changing, full of golden threads. Di Qing adjusted to the light, and saw Zhao Zhen looking at a book on the Jin case.In this room, it seems that the book is placed there. The cover of the book is also gold.The pages are blank. Zhao Zhen stretched out his hand tremblingly, wanting to take the book enshrined on the Jin case. Di Qing's thoughts raced, wondering if this is the so-called heavenly book?Back then, Di Qing had heard a little about the fact that Zhenzong obtained the Heavenly Book at the south of Zuo Chengtian Gate. He was only surprised that Zhao Zhen came here just to get the Heavenly Book? Li Shunrong suddenly said: "My lord, you want the heavenly book, I'll get it." She stepped in front of Zhao Zhen, took the heavenly book, and after a moment of silence, she breathed a sigh of relief and handed the heavenly book to Zhao Zhen. Zhao Zhen showed gratitude in his eyes, and said softly: "Thank you." He knew that Li Shunrong was like this, of course he was afraid that there would be an institution nearby.This Li Shunrong regards his life so important, how can Zhao Zhen not be grateful? Zhao Zhen was holding the heavenly book, his hands were still shaking, but he couldn't wait to open the heavenly book.Di Qing was by his side, and couldn't help but glance at it, but he was a little dazed when he glanced over. The Heavenly Book turned out to be wordless. When Di Qing saw it, he was startled and laughed, and couldn't help thinking of a legend he heard from his mother when he was a child.During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a man named Guiguzi who was granted a heavenly scripture to cultivate immortality. The scripture was also wordless. What is the use of wordless scriptures?Zhao Zhen went through all kinds of hardships to get this book, and why? Zhao Zhen's eyes were also full of weirdness. He flipped through the book twice, and seeing that there was no word in the book, he rolled his eyes and put the book in his arms.Li Shunrong was very surprised and said: "My lord, what are you doing?" Zhao Zhen said slowly: "I didn't come here for this book, but it is a relic of the late emperor after all. I need to take it back to have a look. Li Shunrong, you won't tell others about this, right?" It was sincere, Li Shunrong saw it, his heart softened, and he said sadly: "For the sake of this book, the first emperor didn't think about government affairs, I'm afraid you will repeat the same mistakes." Zhao Zhen said word by word: "I promise you, I will never be addicted to this thing. I take this book just to... commemorate the late emperor." Seeing that Li Shunrong did not object, Zhao Zhen looked at Di Qing and said, "You won't either. Tell others about it, don't you?" In the golden room, Zhao Zhen's eyeballs also seemed to turn golden.When Di Qing saw Zhao Zhen's eyes, his back felt a little chilled, and he said in a low voice, "Of course I won't." Zhao Zhen actually smiled, and said, "Let's go to the other four rooms." Zhao Zhen, who was a bit cowardly at the beginning, became more and more daring in this weird mysterious palace.On the contrary, Di Qing, who was as bold as a tiger, became more and more chilled. Only Li Shunrong remained calm, she seemed to feel something, just said: "My lord, come with me, whatever you want, I'll take it, you don't do anything." She turned and walked to the side, before reaching the white door. Saying it is white is not exact.In Di Qing's view, there should be a faint silvery white color.In the room, everything seemed to be made of silver, including a few tables, which gave the whole room a cold feeling.Almost the same as inside the golden portal, there is a silver case directly in front, with a few things placed on it. If it is said that the wordless scriptures are completely incomprehensible, then the things on the case are even more incomprehensible.On the table, there is a flat box, the box is made of silver, and there are dozens of pieces of silver and white metal inside. What is that box?What is it for?Nobody knows. Although Zhao Zhen was surprised, he was not interested in this thing, and turned to leave, when he suddenly found Di Qing staring at the case, horrified. Zhao Zhen frowned and said, "Di Qing, what's wrong with you?" Di Qing stepped forward, suddenly stretched out his hand to pick up something from the table, stared at it, and said in disbelief: "This...how is it possible?" Zhao Zhen was dissatisfied at first, and thought that these are all belongings of the late emperor, so I don't mind taking them away.How can you, Di Qing, move things here casually?Taking a closer look, he saw that Di Qing was holding only half a jade pendant. Zhao Zhen turned his mind slightly and said, "Di Qing, if you like this jade pendant, take it away." In Zhao Zhen's heart, Di Qing was already like his confidant, and Di Qing went through life and death to save him, and of course Zhao Zhen would be grateful.Seeing that there are many crises in the mausoleum, Zhao Zhen still needs Di Qing's guard, so of course he can win over if he can. Di Qing said hoarsely: "No... Your Majesty, I am not greedy for this jade pendant." He suddenly reached into his bosom, and took out another object, which matched the half of the jade pendant, and it was seamless. Zhao Zhen was startled, and lost his voice: "What's going on?" Li Shunrong also looked at Di Qing in surprise, at a loss. Di Qing's heart was in a mess, and he was also at a loss.The half piece of jade he took out was exactly the half piece of jade that Yang Yushang gave him, and it was also the half piece of jade related to Yang Yushang's life experience. But how could the other half of jade be in a room in the Xuan Palace?How is Yang Yushang's life experience related to Yongding Mausoleum?Could it be that... Di Qing didn't dare to think about it, and couldn't continue talking. Seeing Zhao Zhen's eyes full of inquiries, Di Qing coughed and said, "I don't know what's going on, let's talk about it when we go out." Zhao Zhen still had other things to do, nodded, walked out of the room, and walked to the black door.As soon as he reached the door, he took a breath and refused to go any further.The color in that room, as expected, was all black. There are not many cases in the room, only a lot of black earthen pots.There are nine piles of earthen jars, each with three layers.Five on the bottom floor, three on the middle floor, and one on the top floor.There are nine piles of earthen jars, a total of eighty-one. When Di Qing saw those crock pots, for some reason, his heart was filled with uneasiness. There was also something strange on Zhao Zhen's face, he saluted the earthen jar, and sighed, "Let's go." Di Qing might not know what was in the earthen jar, but Zhao Zhen did know that it must contain Buddhist relics ! Even Zhao Zhen is in awe of these Buddhist relics and dare not desecrate them. Back then when Zhenzong believed in gods, various places competed to present auspicious relics. Zhao Zhen didn't expect that his father would pile up these relics in Xuangong.What's the point?Zhao Zhen had a headache, thinking in his mind, there are only two rooms left, and the thing I was looking for is there.What if there is no such thing?He approached the yellow portal apprehensively. The door was the color of brass, and it was slightly dark. Zhao Zhen raised his eyes and looked over. Seeing nothing strange, he walked in slowly.Di Qing followed closely, looked up and saw that the walls were empty. In this room, there are very few decorations, except for a knife hanging on the opposite wall! In fact, Di Qing could only see the scabbard and handle, but not what the blade looked like.The color of the scabbard was blood red, and the color of the handle was like blood. What Di Qing saw was no longer a knife, but a flying red dragon. The first time he saw the knife, he felt that the brass room was suddenly filled with red blood. In the knife, there seemed to be the breath of thousands of kills, condensing the blood of countless people. Di Qing was fascinated, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the two sides of the knife on the wall, with four large characters written on each side. The characters are flying like dragons and phoenixes, wanting to break through the wall and come out.The eight characters on both sides form a sentence: The king is not a bully, and the general is not a Li! The horoscope is simple, but has a myriad of meanings.When Di Qing read these eight characters, for some reason, the blood in his heart surged up, and he could only feel the clang and clang in his ears, like a golden sword striking each other, and an iron horse is in a hurry. "A king is no more than a bully, and a general is no more than Li!" What is the meaning of these eight characters?For a moment, Di Qing became insane.He forgot too many things, even the mysterious handprints and the strange jade pendant.He stared at the knife in a daze, and didn't notice that Li Shunrong looked at him strangely. Zhao Zhen sighed, turned around and said, "Let's go." There didn't seem to be anything Zhao Zhen needed here, so he didn't want to delay. Before Di Qing left, he couldn't help looking back at the knife on the wall, thinking, who used this knife, and what does it mean to hang it here? Zhao Zhen had reached the last black door, and he looked a little nervous, as if he was a little confused.After hesitating at the door for a moment, Zhao Zhen finally walked in. A black room with black walls and only one black Buddha statue inside.When Di Qing saw the Buddha statue, he couldn't help moaning in his heart. The Buddha statue had no face, and he had just seen it before. Except for its color, it was almost the same as the Buddha statue on Yuqiang. Zhao Zhen suddenly shouted: "No, no!" Di Qing was startled, and hurriedly asked, "My lord, what's the matter?" Zhao Zhen stared at the hand of the Buddha statue and said: "This Buddha statue is a little different from the one just now. Just now, the Buddha statue held a flower in one hand. The hand of this Buddha statue should be holding something. Where is that thing now?" Di Qing looked over and found that Zhao Zhen was right.The black Buddha statue in the room has one hand drooping, and the other hand is not holding a flower, but is lying across the chest.His five fingers are slightly curved, as if he is holding something. What is the statue holding?Could it be what Zhao Zhen was looking for?Gold books, silverware, blood knives, relics, and the faceless Buddha statue in this room, the jade pendant with feathers, the transparent crystal coffin, the immortal emperor, and the magnificent mysterious palace... Di Qing's mind was numb, and his head was getting dizzy. If Di Qing could describe everything here, he could only use the word "unbelievable". He couldn't think of an answer, so he could only look at Zhao Zhen.He suddenly discovered that Zhao Zhen seemed to know more than him. Zhao Zhen looked at the Buddha statue, and the Buddha statue also looked at him.The face of the Buddha statue was dark, Zhao Zhen's face was ashen, his eyes were full of deep despair, he murmured: "It's over, it's over..." At that moment, Zhao Zhen lost his confidence, and all the horror seemed to return to inside him. Zhao Zhen lost his mind and just repeated the word "it's over".Li Shunrong became anxious and asked, "What are you looking for? Why didn't you tell me?" Zhao Zhen suddenly laughed loudly and said, "Tell you? Is it useful to tell you? I can't find it, it's fate." He turned around and was about to rush out of the room, but was held back by Di Qing and Li Shunrong.Suddenly Zhao Zhen couldn't restrain his disappointment, burst into tears, leaned on Li Shunrong's shoulder and said, "I'm done, it's useless for me to go back." Li Shunrong's tears also flowed down, and suddenly a light flashed in his eyes, as if thinking of something, he whispered a few words in Zhao Zhen's ear. Her voice was so low that Di Qing didn't hear it clearly, but only noticed that Li Shunrong's lips were moving. Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhen's whole body was shaken, so he straightened his back, looked at Li Shunrong in amazement and said, "How did you know?" Looking at Di Qing, Zhao Zhen Zhen stopped speaking, and there was a look of shock in his eyes. Li Shunrong sighed lightly and said: "My lord, I understand, I have a solution. Let's go out and talk about it, okay?" Zhao Zhen hesitated a little, wiped away his tears, forced a smile and said, "Okay." The moment Di Qing found Zhao Zhen, he felt both horrified and excited, without the sense of despair, so he couldn't help but feel strange.He always felt that there was an unspeakable relationship between Li Shunrong and Zhao Zhen.But Zhao Zhen is the Son of Heaven, and Li Shunrong is just a Shunrong of the late Emperor. What is the relationship between them? Li Shunrong took Zhao Zhen out of the dark room, closed the colorful door, and the Chaotian Palace was darkened. The three of them fell into the dark again. Fortunately, the night pearl in Li Shunrong's hand was still there, and they could barely illuminate the way.Li Shunrong opened the jade gate to go out, but the darkness outside the gate remained. Li Shunrong said: "Your Majesty, we have arrived at the Caiyun Pavilion. As long as we pass through the gate of life and death, we can reach the Hall of Dedication. There is no problem in this Caiyun Pavilion. I have been here several times." Zhao Zhen hummed, still preoccupied.Di Qing suddenly grabbed Zhao Zhen and stopped, feeling cold in his heart.Li Shunrong felt strange, and asked in puzzlement, "What's wrong?" Di Qing stared at the dark place not far away, and asked, "Are there any stone statues in Caiyun Pavilion?" He couldn't help thinking of the handprints on the stone table. Li Shunrong was taken aback, and saw a shadow in front of him, and said, "Who?" She knew that this place was empty, except for the Buddha statue painted on the wall. But if there is no stone statue, where is the shadow? There was a clicking sound, the sound of flint hitting.Mars looks so dazzling in the dark stone room.The oil lamp was lit, illuminating the stone chamber, but covering the face of the person holding the lamp. The man sighed softly, before Di Qing could recognize him, Li Shunrong said in shock, "Emissary Qian Gong, why is it you?" That face finally moved out from behind the lamp. Under the dim light, the originally fair face looked rather gloomy and cold.Di Qing finally recognized the man and was dumbfounded. The person holding the lamp is actually Qian Weiji, the envoy of Xiaoyi Palace! Too many inexplicable things happened in Xuan Palace, which made Di Qing inexplicably shocked, and even forgot that he was still fleeing with Zhao Zhen. He doesn't know who the ghost is, or who the assassin is. Are ghosts and assassins together?Di Qing firmly believed that there was indeed a fourth person in Chaotian Palace just now.Could that person be Qian Weiji? The moment he saw Qian Weiji, Di Qing's thoughts immediately returned to reality, and he already knew that something was wrong.How could Qian Weiji enter the Xuan Palace?Where did Qian Weiji go when the Xiaoyi Palace caught fire?Seeing Zhao Zhen, why didn't Qian Weiji pay a visit?Is it because he feels that there is no need to see him anymore? Zhao Zhen didn't think much about it. Seeing that it was Qian Weiji, a surge of anger welled up in his heart, and he shouted, "Qian Weiji! Why don't you come forward to pay homage when you see me?" Qian Weiji sighed and said, "What's the difference between worshiping and not worshiping now?" Zhao Zhen's face changed drastically, and he heard Qian Weiji's subtext, and said in a low voice, "You want to rebel?" Qian Weiji said indifferently: "You are not stupid after all." Zhao Zhen took a deep breath and woke up. He gritted his teeth and said, "You sent the assassin?" Qian Weiji remained silent, and Di Qing suddenly said: "Emissary Qian Gong, the Holy Majesty treats you well. Although your son offended the Holy Majesty, the Holy Majesty did not blame him for it. If you really rebelled because of this, I don't think there is any need for it." .” Before Qian Weiji could answer, he said by himself: "Di Qing, you are too naive. Do you still think that Qian Weiji has a way to turn back at this point?" When Di Qing heard that voice, his heart sank. The person who spoke was his old enemy.He didn't want to meet again at this moment. Duowen Tianwang walked out of the darkness slowly, and said indifferently: "Everything has come to an end." When Di Qing saw Duowen Tianwang, he could only cry secretly, knowing that he had fallen into the opponent's big net.Rolling his eyes, he smiled and said, "You alone? I'm afraid you don't have enough ability? Think back in the Cao Mansion..." "I didn't kill you in Cao Mansion, I want to try now." One person said calmly, and walked out from behind Duowen Tianwang.That man was carrying a single sword, and he was the Heavenly King Chiguo who escaped from the Cao Mansion. Di Qing's expression changed again, and his heart was in a mess.Are Chiguo and Duowen Tianwang the two Feilongao?What is the intention of them teaming up with Qian Weiji to attack him?Qian Weiji is a good envoy, why did he attack him? There were too many things that Di Qing couldn't understand. The only thing he understood was that unless a miracle happened, with Di Qing's skills, he was no match for either of these two! Li Shunrong realized that something was wrong, and hissed: "Emissary Qian, you forgot the late emperor's last instruction, and others are not allowed to enter here? Those who disobeyed orders...will die! How did you get in?" There was slight fear on Qian Weiji's face. Before he could say anything, Zhao Zhen said angrily: "Qian Weiji, your father defected to the Great Song Dynasty, and Emperor Taizong wanted to see him; ;You are also glorious. My Zhao family treats you well, and you actually want to kill me?" Qian Weiji's face turned greener and greener, and he suddenly shouted: "Yes, your Zhao family did treat me kindly. My father respected Da Song very much, but your grandfather held him tight and forced him to sacrifice thousands of miles of land. , and then poisoned my father. My brother devoted himself to your Great Song Dynasty and worshiped as a privy envoy, but he was dismissed and expelled from the capital in an instant! It's really an honor for the Zhao family to watch the grave and keep their filial piety." In an instant, he smiled sarcastically, "Your Zhao family is really kind to our Qian family." Di Qing didn't know about these things, but Zhao Zhen fell silent. It turns out that Qian Chu, the father of Qian Weiji, was originally the last emperor of Wuyue. conquered the territory of Wuyue.On the surface, Emperor Taizong gave Qian Chu preferential treatment and granted him the title of king, but then he sent envoys to congratulate Qian Chu on the day of Qian Chu's 60th birthday. killed.Qian Wei, the son of Qian Chu, is scheming and enthusiastic about his official career, so he was able to marry the Empress Dowager Liu's family, and his official position was up to the privy envoy. The queen mother dismissed Qian Weiyan.Qian Weiji is the seventh son of Qian Chu. He has been ups and downs in his official career, and he has no ambitions. Of course, he is not capable, and of course there is also the intention of Zhao Jiafang's predecessors and descendants. It is not without reason that Qian Weiji wants to rebel. Qian Weiji was very excited, and laughed loudly: "So there is an opportunity, of course I will seize it. Li Shunrong, only you know the secret of the mysterious palace, but you have not been wary of me at all these years. The mechanism behind the gate of life and death has long been understood..." "But there are many forks in the Xuan Palace. Every time I come in, I am sure no one is following me. How did you come to Caiyun Pavilion?" Li Shunrong asked.In fact, she didn't care about how Qian Weiji came in, she just wanted to delay time. Qian Weiji said strangely: "You have been using dragon birthday incense all the time. That kind of dragon birthday incense was originally given by the late emperor, and it was a tribute from the Western Regions." Li Shunrong was puzzled and said, "So what?" Qian Weiji said proudly: "Although the fragrance is weak, I have already trained the spirit dog." Di Qing said aside: "So after Li Shunrong left, you turned on the mechanism, used the spirit dog to smell the fragrance in the Xuan Palace, and found the main way?" Qian Weiji sighed and said: "Di Qing, you are so smart. It's a pity that Li Shunrong has only come here and never left. So I can only take them here to wait for you. I know that you can't make a wrong step here. Li Shunrong, we searched all over for Zhao Zhen, but I didn't see him. I knew that if anyone in this world could find him, it must be you. If you found Zhao Zhen, you would definitely bring him here. Because..." Before he finished speaking, Li Shunrong hissed: "Shut up!" She burst into tears, heartbroken. What Qian Weiji said was not correct, because it was Zhao Zhen who insisted on going to Xuan Palace.But many things in the world are often so wrong. But why did Qian Weiji think that Li Shunrong could find Zhao Zhen?Thinking of this, Di Qing smiled wryly in his heart, and thought, if what Qian Weiji told the truth, then who was in Chaotian Palace just now? Thinking about it, Di Qing asked: "Qian Weiji, but there is still one thing I don't understand. If you plan like this, even if you kill the Holy Majesty, what good will it do you? You are a palace envoy, and the Holy Majesty is assassinated. You can't push the blame. The position of the Son of Heaven cannot fall on your head." When he asked, his eyes rolled, but he was thinking of ways to escape. Wen Duo heard that the eternal smile was still on the mask of the Heavenly King, and said: "Di Qing, don't delay, we won't tell you if you ask. In fact, only Zhao Zhen is going to die here, neither you nor Li Shunrong die." Li Shunrong said sadly: "Then I die, you let the saint go!" Duowen Tianwang sighed and said: "No. You are still useful, how can I let you die?" When he sighed, the corner of his mouth was smiling, with an indescribable weirdness. Seeing that Li Shunrong was crying, Zhao Zhen suddenly grabbed Li Shunrong's hand and said with a smile, "I never thought that there are people who care about me so much. Even if I die, so what?" Li Shunrong's tears fell like beads, she just said: "I hurt you, I hurt you." After only a few hours in the Xuan Palace, Zhao Zhen had already experienced Li Shunrong's deep love for him, and said with a smile: "If you really harmed me, I hope that everyone will come to harm me." See Li Shunrong Weak and pathetic, Zhao Zhen felt a masculinity in his chest, he suddenly turned his head, looked at Qian Weiji and shouted sharply: "Qian Weiji, this is the Xuan Palace of the late emperor, you are so rebellious, are you really not afraid of God's punishment?" Zhao Zhen had always been a little weak, but when he drank decisively, his expression turned ferocious. Qian Weiji couldn't help taking a step back, and the Heavenly King Chiguo said with a smirk, "If you were afraid, you wouldn't have come in. Di Qing, I'll give you a chance to live, kill Zhao Zhen, and we'll let you go." Zhao Zhen was startled, and slowly looked at Di Qing.The veins in Di Qing's hand holding the knife were bulging, and his face looked hesitant under the light of the oil lamp. Seeing this, Duowen Tianwang said calmly: "You don't have to worry, we will never break our word." Di Qing suddenly raised his head and shouted: "Okay!" With a clanging sound, Di Qing drew out his saber and slashed towards Zhao Zhen. The knife light was bright, illuminating Zhao Zhen's unbelievable face.Amidst Li Shunrong's screams, he was already in front of Zhao Zhen.Although the three of them hadn't been in Xuangong for a long time, Li Shunrong always felt that Di Qing was absolutely loyal, and he never thought that Di Qing would turn back. When Di Qingdao approached, he suddenly reached out and pushed Li Shunrong's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Go from Chaotian Palace." Li Shunrong staggered and understood in an instant.There is only one way to escape, and that is Chaotian Palace. Chaotian Palace has organs, and those people may not dare to enter. At the critical moment, she staggered back, grabbed Zhao Zhen, and ran away.Di Qing rolled on the spot, and slashed the long saber horizontally, towards the legs of King Chiguo.The Yumen has been closed, so he must give Li Shunrong the opportunity to open the Yumen.But with a single slash, the Heavenly King Chiguo jumped up into the air and disappeared. Di Qing only heard the sound of chirping, and the tip of the umbrella was already in front of him.Di Qing rolled again, but the umbrella tip followed Di Qing's body like a shadow.Di Qing rolled a few more times and was about to jump up, when Duowen Tianwang kicked him soundlessly, hitting him in the chest.With a muffled groan, Di Qing let go of his sword and flew upside down, hitting the stone wall. At this time, there were two bang bangs, and two people landed beside Di Qing.Di Qing turned his head to look, and his heart sank. Those two were Li Shunrong and Zhao Zhen.Li Shunrong and Zhao Zhen were arrested by the Heavenly King Chiguo before they reached the Yumen Gate. Surprise flashed in Duowen Tianwang's eyes, he looked at Chiguo Tianwang and said, "This kid hasn't made any progress in martial arts over the years. How did you lose to him back then?" The Heavenly King Chiguo hesitated before saying: "Be careful he is cheating." From these two sentences, Di Qing has already judged two things. The Heavenly King Duowen is indeed the Heavenly King Duowen of Feilongao, and the Heavenly King Chiguo is also the one in the Cao Mansion. Seeing that Di Qing was still rolling his eyes, King Duowen said hesitantly: "Di Qing, you have no choice. Don't count on others. There is Wang Gui among the guards in front of the palace. here." Di Qing's heart was even colder after being seen through by Duowen Tianwang.At this moment, one person said coldly: "Am I really that stupid?" Everyone was shocked, not knowing who was talking.Duowen Tianwang suddenly turned around and looked into the distance.Hearing a click, a stone door opened wide, and a man strode in, with a hulking back, awe-inspiring and sturdy. Duowen Tianwang's pupils shrank sharply, and he had already clenched his long umbrella tightly.The body of Heavenly King Chiguo has skyrocketed, and he has drawn out the single sword on his back.Qian Weiji trembled all over, and lost his voice: "Wang Gui? How did you get here?" The one who entered Caiyun Pavilion was Zhao Zhen's guard in front of the palace—Wang Gui! Holding a long sword in his hand, Wang Gui said with a dignified expression, "Qian Weiji! You're plotting to cause trouble, why don't you just arrest him?" He was accompanied by two guards, both of whom were holding torches, illuminating the stone room brightly. Although the stone room was brightly lit, the two men wore felt hats covering their faces. Di Qing was slightly delighted, among the bodyguards escorted by Xin Dao, Wang Gui was the strongest in martial arts, he might be able to block one Heavenly King, and the remaining three were not completely hopeless against another Heavenly King.Zhao Zhen wept with joy, he clenched Li Shunrong's hand tightly and was speechless. Qian Weiji was afraid and couldn't answer.Duowen Tianwang said indifferently: "If you want to arrest someone without a fight, you must have the ability to make people dare not resist. Wang Gui, you shouldn't have come." "But I'm here." Wang Gui said proudly. "You are here, so don't think about leaving." Duowen Tianwang pretended to be sorry. Wang Gui smiled and said, "I'm here, there must be someone who can't leave." 多闻天王微凛，他知道王珪的武功，感觉自己若出全力，十招内可以将王珪斩杀。可就是因为知道王珪不行，又见王珪如此自信，多闻天王反倒狐疑起来。 王珪突然道：“你知道我为什么敢进来？” 多闻天王道：“不知道。” 王珪一字字道：“因为我已知道你们的底细，有胜过你们的把握。” 一旁的持国天王怒笑道：“王珪，你果真知道我们的底细？” 多闻天王目光闪动，冷漠道：“那不妨说来听听。”他口气中满是轻蔑，他根本不信王珪所言。 王珪哈哈大笑，突然吟道：“'西北元昊帝释天，五军八部望烽烟。夜叉三罗摩乾部，不及九王天外仙。'这歌谣，你们两个当然听过。” 王珪说的四句，琅琅上口，狄青完全不明白什么意思。但持国天王脸色已变，多闻天王一凛，舒了口气，“你还知道什么？” 王珪沉声道：“我还知道，你们本是这歌谣中的人。” 多闻天王眼中厉芒闪动，喃喃道：“看来，我们真的轻视你了。” 持国天王怒道：“你别听他虚言恫吓，他知道个屁！” 王珪道：“我知道方才那歌谣，本是说西平王元昊和他手下的势力。这些年来，元昊不甘臣服大宋，已建五军，创八部，八部中奇人异士不少。八部中以天、龙两部为尊。元昊以帝释天自称，独尊天部。龙部九王，统御其余六部。其余六部众，阿修罗、迦楼罗、紧那罗就是歌谣中的三罗。其余三部，就是夜叉、乾达婆、和摩呼罗迦部！六部虽奇，但只有卓绝功绩者，才能入选九王，是以才有'夜叉三罗摩乾部，不及九王天外仙'一说。” 多闻天王缓缓道：“然后呢？” 王珪森然道：“我还知道，你们两个本是八部中人。当年多闻天王奉了帝释天之命，和八部别的人手潜到了中原，改头换面，乔装成弥勒佛手下的四大天王，伺机蛊惑人心，祸乱中原，这才引发了飞龙坳的惨案。” 多闻天王皱眉道：“你还知道什么？” 王珪盯着多闻天王道：“我还知道，你本是夜叉部的人手。夜叉部是元昊八部众中精于刺杀的一部，又分三种，是为天夜叉、地夜叉和虚空夜叉。你手中的长伞不是伞，而是一对巧妙的翅膀所变，这翅膀叫做雪蚕翼，本是昆仑山雪蚕吐丝所化，你凭借这翅膀，有时候甚至能在空中飞翔。你有雪蚕翼，不用问，当然就是天夜叉中第一高手——夜月飞天！” 多闻天王手上青筋已起，喃喃道：“你真的很聪明。”他手一抹，露出张清癯孤高的脸来，“你猜对了，我就是夜月飞天！” 那张脸上没有微笑，满是战意。夜月飞天被揭穿身份，杀气已盛，谁都看得出来，他已当王珪是大敌。王珪娓娓道来，轻易揭穿了很多隐情，已让夜月飞天不能不重视。狄青大为惊奇，不解王珪为何突然变得这么聪明。 持国天王叹口气道：“那我是谁呢？” 王珪微顿，随即道：“你们这次带来的人手显然不多，这才伙同钱惟济烧了孝义宫，暗算了我派去救火的侍卫，逼我们逃窜，企图各个击破。袭驾的吕当阳不用问，必是天夜叉部的杀手所扮。真的吕当阳，已被斩杀在救驾途中。” 夜月飞天并不回答，但神情已是默认。 王珪精神一振，望着持国天王道：“但真正逼我们离去的人，是一个善用乐声驱兽的人。在元昊所创八部中，乾达婆部和紧那罗部的人都精通乐理，但听说乾达婆部均是妙女，个个能歌善舞，你当然不是女人，因此你可能就是紧那罗部的高手——拓跋行乐！” 持国天王哂然道：“可你莫忘了，八部中真正擅长驱兽的是摩呼罗迦部。” 王珪摇头道：“摩呼罗迦部的确精通驱兽，摩呼罗迦的部主珈天蟒也是少见的驯兽高手，不过，他已死在飞龙坳！”狄青一震，回忆当初飞龙坳一战，不由恍若隔世。 王珪断定道：“珈天蟒本乔装成广目天王，但被郭遵郭大人击杀。人死不能复生，你绝不是珈天蟒。” 持国天王一震，盯着王珪，目光狠恶。 王珪全不在意，又道：“当年飞龙坳一战，郭遵、叶知秋、狄青击杀的三人，就是摩呼罗迦、紧那罗、和迦楼罗部三部主。这三人本是呼风唤雨之辈，不想尽数折损在飞龙坳，元昊大惊，又因为叶知秋追得急，这才暂缓渗透中原的计谋。但时隔多年，元昊已重整人手，派你们前来混淆视听。紧那罗部的人本来就是精通乐理，只要再知晓兽性的话，驱兽也不见得不可。你若是拓跋行乐的话，那你的兵刃本应是长棍，但你们故弄玄虚，宣称四大天王复生，因此才改换用刀。事情有利有弊，你没有用熟悉的兵刃，武技不能完全发挥，不然早可以杀了我。” 持国天王垂头望刀，五指如铁，良久才道：“不错，我就是拓跋行乐。当年在飞龙坳被叶知秋所杀的持国天王，就是我大哥，也就是紧那罗部的部主——拓跋行礼。” 王珪冷笑道：“因此你这些年学了驯兽之法，就想为你大哥报仇了？” 拓跋行乐一字字道：“不错。”他说的斩钉截铁，眼中满是恨意，就算王珪见了，都不由心中一寒。 拓跋行乐突然舒了口气，望向王珪道：“王珪，我虽和叶知秋有仇，但你我本没有仇恨。你这般聪明，若是投奔帝释天，大有可为。帝释天好武，不像大宋昏君，只知道崇文抑武，那些文弱书生何用？却始终骑在你们的头上！难道说征战天下，一统江山，要靠那些文人的诗词歌赋？江山大业、终需英雄马蹄踏出！你武技再高能如何？还不是为昏君所嫉，不得善终。大宋自赵匡胤杯酒释兵权后，习武之人，已再无出头之日！你若投靠帝释天，你我联手，岂不更好？” 他突然劝说王珪投奔元昊，众人均是诧异，可又忍不住想到，拓跋行乐不过是元昊手下的一部主，竟也有如此心机，那元昊此人，不知又是何等人物？ 赵祯忙道：“一派胡言！朕当革除陋习，重用武将。王珪，你莫听他们的蛊惑。只要回转京城，我就会升你的官儿。” 王珪嘿然一笑，“大宋再不好，也是我王珪的故土，王某得圣上器重，当凭借一身武技保家卫国，安定天下。你我道不同，不相为谋。你可是见阴谋败露，这才言语诱骗吗？” 拓跋行乐霍然抬头，目光如电，凝声道：“鹿死谁手，犹未可知！你真以为知道的多，就能稳操胜券？王珪，胜败还是要用动手，不是凭一张嘴的。” 王珪缓缓道：“你等装神弄鬼，终究难成大器。” 夜月飞天哂然道：“我等图谋的大业，又岂是你这竖子所能明了？” 王珪哈哈一笑道：“你等所谓的大业，不过是搅乱中原，蛊惑人心，趁大宋内乱之际，让元昊顺势东进。你们怕大宋天子亲政，励精图治，一改大宋颓势，对你等入侵中原不利，这才收买钱惟济行刺天子。太后老迈，在你们心中不足为惧了。” 狄青皱起眉头，暗想如果拓跋行乐真是元昊派来的，为何会在曹府中，看似和夏随一伙儿？这其中，肯定有个关键所在！ 夜月飞天点点头道：“你说的有几分道理。” 王珪目光闪动，反问道：“只有几分道理？这么说，还有其余的原因了？” 夜月飞天冷漠道：“你猜出来的，我不必否认。可你猜不出来的事情，我也不会对你多说。” 王珪皱了下眉头，喝道：“你所谓的原因，不过还是故弄玄虚。当年飞龙坳一战，你等已铩羽而归，这次前来，也不过是重蹈覆辙。你们两个若是束手就擒的话，我还可饶你们不杀。” 此言一出，彩云阁已静了下来。良久，夜月飞天周身绷紧，随即笑道：“就凭你吗？”他才一微笑，就已退后，话未说完，长伞陡然穿出，直刺赵祯！ 这一招实在出乎意料。谁都以为他全力要攻王珪，不想他还是要杀赵祯。狄青一惊，一把抱住赵祯，滚向一旁。王珪变色，飞身扑来救驾。不想夜月飞天一刺竟是虚招，不等刺实，霍然倒转身形，身轻如燕，已扑向了王珪。 拓跋行乐几乎同时发动，一刀砍的也是王珪！夜月飞天和拓跋行乐合作多年，默契难言。王珪最强，就先除王珪。只要王珪一死，余众微不足道。 他们低看了王珪，从未想到王珪如此深不可测，一来到玄宫，就把他们所有的计划揭开了七七八八。所以夜月飞天一出手就已用尽了全力，拓跋行乐一出手就是绝招，二人务求三招之内联手毁了王珪！ 拓跋行乐一刀砍下，刀光未及王珪之时，突然化作了繁星点点，满室寒光。刀光如练，怎会变成点点寒光？谁都想不明白。王珪身临其境，已见那单刀陡碎，变成无数铁片向他打来。 原来拓跋行乐的刀打造巧妙，机关重重，竟然可分可合！这一招实在出乎王珪的意料，让他猝不及防！ 夜月飞天的伞却是不变，已如闪电般刺到王珪的喉间。夜月飞天以伞做枪，一伞刺出，快不可言，竟然后发先至，抢在漫天的寒光射来前刺出。 狄青已变色，他现在才知道夜月飞天和拓跋行乐的联手有多犀利、多可怕！他知道这一招若是袭向自己，自己必死无疑。 王珪也是脸色巨变，已如死人，他只来得及向后退了一步。可一步远远不够，就算他退到天边，那星光电闪也要跟他到天边。Never die! 星光暴涨，星光陡灭！ 星光陡灭，只因为那漫天的碎片突然消失不见。一人伸手抛了火把，随手脱下外衣，只是一裹，就将那杀人的碎片尽数包在衣内。 狄青已看直了眼睛，拓跋行乐脸色巨变。二人只见到王珪退后一步，身侧那个侍卫却是上前一步。 那人上前一步，迎着铺天的杀气，脱下外衣，将杀气化解于无形，他包住那些碎片极其随便，就像随手拍死个臭虫，轻松之极。然后他手腕一震，切在那伞尖之上。长伞一颤，已斜刺出去，擦那人身边而过，那人眼眨都不眨。 那人破解了攻势，这才伸手接住火把，火焰跳动了两下，未熄！夜月飞天和拓跋行乐如此犀利的合击，竟被那人这么随手破解，这人是谁？ 夜月飞天的一颗心沉了下去，他本还有杀招未出，可见那人出手举重若轻，蓦地想起一人，顾不得再攻，一个跟头倒翻了出去，轻盈的有如翩翩花蝶。 拓跋行乐心中一紧，竟被那人气势所迫，脚步连错，双手一招，只听到咯咯咔咔声音如爆豆连响，转瞬之间他手上已驳接出一条长棍。 狄青只见到拓跋行乐身躯一颤，身边暗影重重，那暗影化作一道黑气到了拓跋行乐之手，转瞬变幻出条长棍，不由诧异世上竟还有这种本事。 棍头一颤，嗡嗡作响，拓跋行乐手中长棍虚点，神色紧张，可却终于没有发出招去。他已没有了把握。 夜月飞天才一落地，眼中已露出惶惑之意，嗄声道：“郭遵？”拓跋行乐一震，不由后退了一步。似乎郭遵这个名字，就有着无穷的魔力，让他不能不退。 赵祯惊喜得落泪道：“郭指挥？” 狄青叫道：“郭大哥，是你？” 那人微微一笑，摘下了毡帽，挺直了身躯。他来到石室后，一直垂头顺目，看起来平凡无奇，但挺起了胸膛，去除毡帽，却是睥睨八方，威势尽显。那人正是郭遵！ 郭遵一出手，就已逼退了元昊手下两大将的合击，举重若轻！
