Seize the body? Change skin? Disguise? Or...mind control?
Xu Tong didn't know, but what was certain was that the Xiang family son in front of him, the future crown prince, was definitely not Xiang Keding himself.
Even though her skin is exactly the same as Xiang Keding's, the changes in details are definitely unmistakable.
When I first entered the world of this script, my first mission reminded me that in this world of scripts, things like seizing one's body are not uncommon.
Now it seems that this reminder is not unreasonable.
But whether she is Qiao Xiaofeng or not, it doesn't matter to him. What matters is that Taoist Xunlong has already sent Xiang Gongbao a long-awaited gift.
A square jade seal, four inches in diameter, with five dragons on it and eight seal characters engraved on the front: "Ordered by Heaven, Longevity and Longevity".
As soon as the jade seal appeared, everyone naturally exclaimed.
Xu Tong took a look at the Qimen with his life eye and saw that it was shining brightly, as if there was a cloud of rays of light shrouding it.
But the light was too weak. Even if he had never seen the real jade seal, he could still tell that it was definitely not the real thing.
But who cares?
Does Xiang Gongbao care? He doesn't care.
Do the ministers present care? Haha, even a fool knows that this thing cannot be true.
Because of this, it appeared twice in the Datong Dynasty.
Once, the founding emperor of Datong destroyed the Mongolian Lindan Khan, and his descendants presented the so-called "national seal" of the Yuan Dynasty.
During the reign of Emperor Qian, he built a jade seal on the Yellow River and obtained a jade seal, which was also passed down as a national jade seal.
Later, both jade seals were confirmed to be fakes.
But what about fakes? Everyone just takes fakes as real and just to make up for it, and no one goes into it deeply.
This is obviously the case at this point, who cares if this thing is true or false.
Before Xiang Gongbao ascended the throne, a mysterious Taoist sent him the imperial seal. Just such a statement added to the legitimacy of Xiang Gongbao's succession to the throne.
As for other things, it's not important.
"Now that Mr. Xiang has given birth to the jade seal, it seems that he is destined to do so. We respectfully ask Mr. Xiang to inform the world so that people can see things right."
"That's right, things will change later, so the sooner the better."
Xiang Gongbao's original intention was actually to wait. Even if everyone knew that he had this intention, he still had to go through the process of asking for and resigning three times.
After all, acting can only be interesting if you do enough, but now that everyone is saying this, Xiang Gongbao will naturally start to murmur in his heart.
"Xiang Gong, in this troubled time, everything should be done with the force of thunder. Don't forget that the vassal kings of each state are still here."
As soon as these words came out, Xiang Gongbao's expression changed.
Immediately, people were asked to prepare documents, which not only required the seal of the Empress Dowager Shengci, but also the newly acquired imperial seal.
"Haha, at midnight tonight, the sun and the moon alternate. It is a good time that does not happen once in a thousand years. Your Majesty can ascend the throne at this time, which will ensure the prosperity of the country."
Taoist Xunlong pinched his fingers and calculated carefully: "It's just that on this great day when the world changes, some demons and evil spirits will inevitably appear, and twelve star observatories need to be arranged in the palace. Pindao will be in charge personally, and the emperor will
You can sit back and relax.”
Xiang Gongbao's eyes lit up when he heard this. He knew that Taoist Xunlong had great supernatural powers and was a real land immortal. He quickly grabbed Taoist Xunlong and said, "Thank you, Immortal. After I ascend the throne, I will definitely confer the Immortal as the National Preceptor."
of honor."
In response to this, Taoist Xunlong just shook his head: "Pindao's Taoist name is Xunlong. Now that the real dragon has returned to his throne, the future will be peaceful for all eternity. Pindao's vocation will be fulfilled from now on. The glory and wealth in this world will no longer be with Pindao."
"Hey, it's old green tea."
Xu Tong stood behind and listened, thinking that you have taken away the last bit of dragon energy, so why do you want any more human fireworks?
"Without further delay, Pindao will go and make preparations. However, I am not familiar with this palace and there is still a shortage of manpower around me. Please ask Mr. Xiang and Mr. Ma to accompany me."
Taoist Xunlong asked people by name, and both Ma Qi and Xiang Gongbao felt relieved. In their eyes, Taoist Xunlong may be a god or a sage, but he is definitely a peerless master.
It is always safer to be with such an expert than to be with themselves.
So Xiang Gongbao readily agreed, summoned the two of them, and repeatedly told him to obey Taoist Xunlong's instructions in everything.
Xu Tongming knew that Taoist Xunlong singled out him and Xiang Gongbao at this time, and he must be uneasy and kind-hearted, but he was bound to be forced to admit it with his nose pinched.
It’s just...when did this old guy have an affair with this pretty Xiaofeng??
Thinking of this, he looked at the impostor on the side, and saw that the other person was actually looking at him. After the two looked at each other, they were stunned for a moment, and then they chose to turn their heads away in a tacit understanding.
With Xiang Gongbao's full support, Taoist Xunlong immediately had unimpeded access in the palace. In fact, if the old thief was willing, no one could stop him even if he carried the Empress Dowager Shengci away from the harem.
"Pity!"
The three of them walked to a ruins. Looking at the ruins in front of them, Taoist Xunlong couldn't help but sigh.
This place is called Yanxi Palace, and the name sounds familiar. But when you go in, you will see a Western-style building standing inside. It looks nondescript and is still in a state of unfinished business.
What a waste of such a wonderful place.
Taoist Xunlong walked in, drew a circle on the ground, and signaled the soldiers who were following him to dig a stone pile three meters deep, three meters high, three feet wide, and weighing thirty-three kilograms in the circle.
Then he took Xu Tong and Xiang Keding and continued walking down.
Neither of them spoke to each other on the road. They didn't have the closeness of good brothers just now. Instead, they tacitly distanced themselves from each other.
Since everyone has been a fox for thousands of years, since they know it well, it would be artificial to pretend anymore.
"Here, it's the same as before, the specifications, dimensions and weight must not be less than a little bit."
Walking to the Jiaotai Hall, Taoist Xunlong glanced at it, tapped his toes, pointed to the open space in front of him and said.
The soldiers on the side quickly took note of the location.
Taoist Xunlong turned back to Xu Tong and Xiang Keding and said: "The Forbidden City was designed by Kuai Luban Kuai Xiang, but in fact it was someone else. This person was called Cai Xin. He spent several years based on Yin Yang and the Five Elements.
Time Design was taken over by Kuai Xiang later, but unfortunately there are too few records about him."
Taoist Xunlong's tone seemed to be complaining about the man named Cai Xin.
But neither Xu Tong nor Xiang Keding knew what this old guy wanted to say.
Seeing the confused expressions on the two people's faces, Taoist Xunlong could only show an expression as if he were playing the piano to a cow, and he led them down the stairs with helplessness on his face.
While walking, I introduced the palace to the two of them.
For example, the Jiaotai Hall just mentioned, which means Yin and Yang Jiaotai, is said to be a place where the emperor favored his wife.
There are also Kunning Palace, Qianqing Palace, Duitian Palace, Lihuo Palace and so on.
Gradually, Xu Tong realized that the entire palace was composed of the arrangement of the Nine Bagua Palaces.
What made him even more confused was that Taoist Xunlong seemed to know the huge Forbidden City very well.
Until we came to the last stop, Changyin Pavilion.
Taoist Xunlong seemed a little tired, so he set up a final circle and led the two of them to the top of the building.
Changyin Pavilion is the exclusive theater of the Royal Inner Court in the Forbidden City. It is located on the east side of the Yangxing Hall of the Forbidden City. From a Feng Shui perspective, this location is exactly the position of the Xun character in the Bagua.
Xun represents wind, and wind carries sound, which helps sound propagation and has an effect similar to amplification.
The first official performance of the famous "Hui Troupe Entering Beijing" was held in Changyin Pavilion in the Forbidden City. It was to celebrate the birthday of Emperor Qian. From then on, this troupe had another name, Peking Opera.
It can be said that the actors in Xiajiuliu slowly developed from this place.
Taoist Xunlong led the two of them to the top of the building, where they could see the beautiful scenery of the imperial city in front of them, with its golden glazed tiles contrasting with the blue sky and white clouds under the sun.
"A country with thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, a city with nine gates. If you don't see the emperor's palace, how can you know that the emperor is respected?"
Looking at the beautiful scenery, Taoist Xunlong couldn't help but let out a sigh, turned back to Xu Tong and said:
"The Cai Xin I just mentioned is actually my great-grandfather. He was a talented person, but in the end he succeeded others. But who would have thought that starting from my great-grandfather, the Forbidden Palace would already have buried a set of formations, just waiting for him. It will come in handy one day in the future, but unfortunately, he can’t see it anymore.”
No wonder Taoist Xunlong was so melancholy just now.
It turns out that Cai Xin is his great-grandfather. His ancestor designed and built this most magnificent Forbidden City. In the end, not even a single name was mentioned. Instead, the credit fell on another person. No one would think otherwise. Comfortable.
Xu Tong couldn't help but secretly wonder if this old guy was so keen on chasing Xiang Gongbao to rebel, maybe it was more of a revenge mentality.
Taoist Xunlong seemed to be killing time on purpose, casually chatting with them about his ancestors.
At this time, the sound of digging could be heard downstairs. There is no doubt that these soldiers were very efficient. They quickly moved the stone piles requested by Taoist Xunlong and buried them in the soil.
Seeing that the soldiers below had finished their work, Taoist Xunlong waved his hand for them to leave, then turned around and threw a jade pendant to the fake Xiang Keding aside: "You did a good job, this is what I promised you. reward.”
"Thank you!"
The other party took the jade pendant and quickly threw it into the prop book without waiting for Xu Tong to see clearly what it was.
Then he glanced at Xu Tong and lowered his head: "In this case, my mission is completed. Senior, please do as you please. Junior, please retire."
Having reaped all the benefits, I naturally no longer wanted to stay with Taoist Xunlong anymore, so I turned around and planned to run away.
"Don't worry!"
But at this time, Taoist Xunlong stopped him: "I taught you the art of seizing a body, gave you this wealth in the world, and gave you the best jade in the world to help you break through the shackles, and now I still want you to Let’s look at one more thing.”
I saw Master Xunlong slowly taking out something from his arms, which was the rising dragon picture given to him by the eldest princess.
The dragon appears above, full of charm, but the empty eyes become the biggest regret of this painting.
Qiao Xiaofeng was a little suspicious when she saw this, not knowing what Master Xunlong was going to do.
Just when he was suspicious, Taoist Xunlong looked at Xu Tong again.
"The Rising Dragon Picture is Wu Daozi's pinnacle work. Ordinary people cannot point out the eyes for him, so there is only one way to point out the eyes."
When Taoist Xunlong said this, Xu Tong and Qiao Xiaofeng suddenly felt a bad premonition in their hearts.
The exchange of glances between the two parties was fleeting, and a thought came into their minds at the same time: "Escape!
However, Xu Tong gave up this idea the moment it first emerged, because he saw the eldest princess walking out of the door behind them at some point.
The cold eyes were staring greedily at his neck, and the sharp fangs were slowly exposed.
