"Drowning~",~~"
The copper balls in the sachets, the size of giant cauldrons, were hung in the magnificent palace. As the palace ladies outside the palace pulled them, they swayed back and forth in the palace with a strong fragrance and a buzzing sound, like a swing.
The rich aroma shrouded the entire hall in clouds and mist, like a fairyland. A young Taoist wearing a red robe and a scar on his face slowly walked out of the mist.
"Master Li, please come with us. Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time." A round-faced eunuch bent his waist, holding a fly whisk in his hand, and followed Li Huowang step by step quickly and slowly with a flattering smile on his face.
"The aroma is too strong!" Li Huowang sniffed, with a hint of dissatisfaction on his face.
"Hehehe. Mr. Li has been wronged, but our servants are used to staying here and don't think anything of it." "You Dongxia people insist on putting so many sachets in the house? When I entered the capital, I saw
They can even be found in people’s houses.”
"Hahaha, it didn't exist in the past, but now the emperor likes it. Since the emperor likes it, it is naturally good. If the example is applied, the common people will learn from it."
"Master Li, you are not used to smelling it. A good smell is better than a bad smell. You only need to smell it for a few more months and you will be able to taste it. Each of these fragrances is different."
Li Huowang did not speak and continued to walk toward the apse in silence. When he passed through the apse and arrived at the palace where the emperor lived, the smell became even stronger.
As the rope in the palace maid's hand slowly pulled, the layers of gauze curtains were separated one by one. After a long while, Li Huowang finally saw the real owner, the emperor of Eastern Xia.
The emperor of Eastern Xia had white hair and beard, his face was darkened with age spots, and his hands under the dragon robe were shaking uncontrollably. He seemed to be on the verge of death.
However, the other party's appearance did not surprise Li Huowang, but the slight change in the rich fragrance made him frown.
It was a stench, the stench of a corpse to be exact.
Under the aroma of the sachet, the odor was suppressed and almost disappeared. If it weren't for Li Huowang's keen sense of smell, he might not have noticed this abnormality.
"You..." The old emperor of Dongxia spoke. His voice was old and tired, as if his trachea was filled with phlegm. "Are you Li Yunxin?"
Li Huowang bowed again and said, "Your Majesty, I am Li Yunxin."
The old emperor seemed to have exhausted all his energy after saying this. He rested for a while and then slowly continued: "You really have a way to find the elixir of immortality?"
"Return to Your Majesty! As long as Your Majesty gives me three thousand gold melon guards and six hundred boys and girls, I will definitely be able to help Your Majesty go to Penglai Island to find the elixir of immortality!"
"Listen carefully, I want the elixir of immortality, not Yangshou Pill!"
"It's natural! Your Majesty is worth a thousand gold, so you must have as many common things as Yangshou Pill." "I don't want to become an immortal, I just want the elixir!"
"Save it for me!"
"Let's go." The old emperor was tired, and with a slight shake of his hand, the layers of gauze curtains separated the two again.
At the last moment when the gauze curtain was closed, his last faint words came out from inside, "If you can't do it, behead me."
With a smile on his lips, Li Huowang saluted again with both hands and slowly retreated.
The old emperor opened the gold
Of course, the Eastern Xia court did not dare to neglect. In just half a day, both the boys and girls that Li Huowang wanted and the three thousand golden melon guards were all gathered.
Li Huowang stood on the school grounds, silently watching everything below. An old eunuch wearing a python robe stood aside and carefully waited on him. "Master Li, do these things suit your taste?"
"Well, let's go! As long as the number is correct." Li Huowang got on his horse and shouted to the general in the distance: "Take all the boys and girls on the carriage! Let's go find the elixir for the emperor!"
Thirty-six hundred people and carriages left the capital in a mighty manner, and the people in the capital immediately spread the news.
It is rumored that this Mr. Li has the ability to revive the flesh and bones of the dead. If he takes action, the chance of finding the elixir will definitely be much higher than that of others.
However, no matter how widely the gossip spreads, it is still just gossip. Within a few days, it will be covered by other news. In less than half a year, the people will have forgotten this matter.
But at noon seven years later, when Li Huowang returned to the imperial city alone, the people of Eastern Xia remembered this incident again.
The scarred Li Huowang held the lacquer box in his arms and panted towards the palace. He had experienced too much in the past seven years, and this thing was really hard-won.
Suddenly, with a squeaking sound, a hair-thin steel wire cut directly from the left side of Li Huowang's neck to the right side. As blood spurted out, his head slowly tilted and fell to the ground.
But just when a masked woman rushed over and was about to take away the lacquer box in Li Huowang's arms, Li Huowang pressed it with one hand to steady his head, which was about to fall off.
As Li Huowang raised his sword and swung his sword, in the opponent's unbelievable eyes, the opponent's head fell off instead of his own.
Although the crisis was temporarily lifted, he did not take it lightly and looked around at the people with an ugly expression. "Fuck! What's going on! Everything has been cleaned up. Who leaked the news?"
Not caring so much, Li Huowang suddenly stepped on his feet, his body flew directly to the roof on the side, and ran towards the imperial city while stepping on the rubble.
Li Huowang's move not only failed to get him out of trouble, but instead made him more and more troubled. People appeared out of nowhere and wanted to snatch the lacquer box in his hand.
Fortunately, this was the imperial city, and when the imperial army came to support him, he finally got out of trouble.
"Your Majesty! I have brought the elixir back to you from Penglai!!" Li Huowang raised the lacquer box in his hand to the old Emperor of Eastern Xia in a loud voice under the swinging copper ball of the sachet.
"Hurry, bring it up!" The trembling hands covered with age spots were not enough to express the excitement at this moment.
"Your Majesty, please don't worry. I have something to explain to Your Majesty. After taking this elixir, you will not only live forever, but you will also be able to survive being cut by a knife. It will not melt when it enters the fire, and it will go up to the sky and into the earth with the wind and rain."
"I tried one for Your Majesty, so now I can still live even if my head falls off." Li Huowang said, picking up the slightly crooked head, straightening it and putting it back on his body again. This scene stunned everyone in the palace.
.
"Ahem, wouldn't that be better? Bring it up quickly."
"Your Majesty, there is one more thing that I want to make clear to Your Majesty, that is, there are three pills of elixir in total." Li Huowang followed.
As soon as these words came out, the room suddenly became extremely quiet, and even the huge copper ball in the sachet stopped shaking. When Li Huowang took in the changes in the expressions of the palace maids, guards and eunuchs around him, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
"The prince has arrived~~" the lyrics instantly broke the peace.
As the palace maids and eunuchs knelt down, a black-bearded man strode in, "What a joy! What a joy! Your Majesty helps your father give the medicine!!"
As he said that, he stretched out his hand towards the lacquer box in Li Huowang's hand. He wanted to take it, but Li Huowang didn't refuse and just let it go. But Li Huowang was happy, but others were not. A whisk was thrown over and directly wrapped around the lacquer box.
.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, our servants can only give you medicine. Your rich body cannot do this." The person who spoke was an old eunuch. He looked very excited and his face turned red.
"Go away! Dog slave!"
Just when the two were arguing, the burly Jin Guawei on the side immediately stepped forward and pulled the two apart as if they were fighting.
As the two of them separated, the lacquer box containing the elixir naturally fell into his hands. With a click, the lacquer box was opened, and three radiant red elixirs were reflected in everyone's eyes.
middle.
If there is only one pill, it is not enough, but there are three pills of this elixir. Everyone is thinking, if the emperor eats one pill, there are two pills left. If he can't take the second pill, is it possible that he can't take the third pill?
A pill? You can't die if you eat it, and the emperor can't kill himself.
In an instant, the rules in the palace disappeared at this moment, and only the three elixirs remained in everyone's eyes.
Just as an ecstatic eunuch took a pill into his mouth, before he could swallow it, his stomach had been torn open, and bloody hands were waiting eagerly underneath.
With.
Everyone wants to live forever. At this moment, the majestic and luxurious emperor's palace has turned into an extremely bloody capstan of flesh and blood. Humanity has completely disappeared, leaving only naked desires.
"That's enough!" With a roar, everyone in the hall instantly collapsed on the ground and bleeded from all the holes.
A tall black figure was printed on the layers of gauze curtains. "Hongzhong, you did a good job." As the layers of gauze curtains became fewer, the figure became clearer. It was Dongxia.
old emperor.
As he moved, the putrid smell became stronger and stronger, leaving a layer of green corpse liquid wherever the old emperor walked. When he was separated by a layer of veil, Li Huowang finally discovered that at this moment, the old emperor of Dongxia
The emperor was already rotten, and his face was pitted like a rotting corpse. "It's a pity that you lied to the wrong place. This is my territory!"
But when he heard this, Li Huowang didn't react much. He picked up the three pills from the blood on the ground and raised them high towards the dice. "I've sent the elixir to your majesty!"
"Hongzhong, are you still talking about these things now? Who among you and I don't know that this thing is fake?" The old emperor of Dongxia looked at Li Huowang condescendingly.
"Fake? Hahaha, who told you that this medicine is fake?" Li Huowang raised his head and looked directly. "Huh?"
"I always only tell the truth. If I say I will bring you the elixir of immortality, then I must bring you the real elixir of life. Do you know how much effort I spent to find this medicine?"
Dice immediately had an alarm bell ringing in his heart, feeling that something was very wrong.
With a strong wave of his hands, the gauze curtains and doors in all directions
The window was violently blown away. Then Dice discovered that the palace was full of smoke and someone was attacking the imperial city!
"This is about the real medicine, but you are not the only one who knows about it. I have told many people. Alas, the magic medicine is popular among people. Dongxia is about to perish. Boss, your fortune is ruined."
The rotten palm directly lifted Li Huowang up, "Hongzhong, then you are looking down on me. You can't destroy my game, and you can't fight me."
Li Huowang still had a smile on his face, "I know I can't beat you, so I found some helpers."
The next moment, as Li Huowang tugged at the old emperor's dragon robe, a dice embedded in the rotting body was clearly exposed in the air.
"You really are sitting on the Forgotten Way!!" A roar shouted from the top of the palace in the distance.
It was a one-eyed Taoist wearing a yellow robe. He held up the gourd with his right hand and waved the whisk in the air with his left hand. The entire sky was directly captured by him in the gourd.
"As a Zuowangdao! How dare you join forces with Dongxia Si Tianjian to deal with one of our own people!" Dice's voice was filled with anger.
"Hahaha! Boss Dice, you must be confused. We have all forgotten the truth. Why are you talking about the moral principles of the world?! Of course, we should use whatever tricks are useful."
"Besides, I'm not just joining forces with Dongxia Si Tianjian."
The next moment, the ground was completely raised, and an inverted pagoda emerged from the soil, covering both of them directly.
As the mantras were muttered, the pitch-black night pressed down like a giant net, enveloping the entire palace, making it impossible for anyone inside to escape.
All forces took turns to appear, and the battle lasted for three days and three nights. When Si Tianjian from other countries came to rescue, the entire Imperial City of Dongxia Kingdom was completely reduced to ruins.
Spring passed and autumn passed, and winter passed summer. Two full years later, a rotten hand stretched out from the rubble covered with weeds.
The old emperor, who was only half-broken, climbed out of the ruins. But before he could recover for a moment, he saw Hong Zhong squatting there and looking at him with a smile. "Boss Dice can hide himself well."
"Hehe. Hehe." Dice lowered his head and smiled, "Hongzhong, you played well, but it's a pity that you missed one move." "Oh? Which move was missing?"
"The bad thing is that you have a good heart! I have already guarded against you!" The old emperor's rotten hand suddenly split open, and a ball of imaginary heaven was thrown onto Li Huowang's body.
Li Huowang paused on the spot, then reached out and patted the red robe on his body, brushing away the non-existent dust. "It seems that I did not make a mistake in this move."
The old emperor looked at Li Huowang in disbelief. He couldn't figure out that his backhand was useless, but suddenly he reacted. "No, you are not Xinsu, you are not Hongzhong, who are you?
!!”
He reached out to his chin, pulled it gently, tore off Li Huowang's face, and threw it on the ground. He walked over, kicked the old emperor over, and grabbed the dice on his chest with one hand.
Just pull it out.
"Who the hell are you!!" In the old emperor's unwilling roar, the dice was pulled out directly.
He stretched out his fingers to pull out the brains from the dice. He held it in both hands and pushed it onto his head with great caution. "It doesn't matter who I was in the past. Now, I am the dice."
