In the flying clouds, the old Taoist priest was meditating with his eyes closed. Luo Wanxiang slowly came behind him and stood quietly.
After a while, the old Taoist priest opened his eyes and saw the sun rising, leaping from the Purple Mountain in the distance, painting the mountains, rivers and land with a spectacular color.
He opened his mouth and inhaled, and a clearly visible turbulence guided the energy of heaven and earth that alternated between the sun and the moon, swallowed it into his belly, and turned it into divine energy.
Luo Wanxiang was filled with admiration. Although the master was not in charge of the secular Chaotian Palace, in terms of profound Taoism and practice, no one in the sect could match him.
It is a pity that Dongsheng Shenzhou has disappeared now. Otherwise, I could go to the place where the gods gather, visit the immortals and make friends, and have the opportunity to become a guest of the immortal family.
After finishing his practice, the old Taoist priest said, "Wanxiang, why are you here in such a hurry?"
Luo Wanxiang said: "I'm telling Master that Tao Tao's case has made progress."
Chaotian Palace was also concerned about the death of Taoist Taoist. After all, it was related to Tao Zhongwen, who was now the leader of the Taoist sect. The old Taoist priest pretended to be listening.
Luo Wanxiang recounted the situation that Li Yan analyzed to him last night in detail, and finally said: "The disciple just took a 'Huiyuan Pill' from the Duke of Qi's office, and gave it to Divine Doctor Li. After he tested it,
The materials used in this elixir are really related to demon flesh and blood!"
Luo Wanxiang felt like vomiting when he thought that under Li Yan's control, the elixir, which originally had a strange smell, was exposed to the true face of Lushan, and a twisted piece of flesh and blood was separated, still squirming tenaciously to this day.
He really couldn't accept that the Huiyuan Pill was a method of returning vitality, extracting the vitality of demonic flesh to make up for the strength of the human body.
The old Taoist priest looked solemn and sighed: "What a troubled time!"
Luo Wanxiang whispered: "Master, my disciple has something unclear. If Tao Tao's mother is really a demon, how could Tao allow him to be born? And keep him outside in such a big way?"
There is someone in the clan of the leader of the Taoist sect who actually had an affair with a demon and gave birth to a son. Such a scandal is enough to arouse public outrage, especially in the countryside nowadays, where demons are often seen harming people. This is not just a matter of whether the family tradition is upright or not.
The problem is the position of the entire species.
The old Taoist priest flicked his robe lightly, and invisible ripples rippled, completely isolating the inside and outside. His voice became colder: "You shouldn't have had much hope for Tao. Now the world is in ruins, evil spirits are rampant, and they are secretly communicating with monsters."
It’s not surprising.”
Orthodox royal Taoist temples such as Chaotian Palace are actually very dissatisfied with Tao Zhongwen, a favorite who relied on "two dragons never meet" and "red lead pills" to rise to power. In comparison, Tao Zhongwen's predecessor Shao Yuanjie is more recognized.
After all, he is a Taoist priest of the Qing Dynasty on Longhu Mountain and does not use flattery tactics.
But now Tao Zhongwen is indeed powerful and deeply favored by the king. The old Taoist priest asked again: "Besides the 'Huiyuan Pill, is there any other evidence?"
Luo Wanxiang said in a deep voice: "Not yet."
The old Taoist priest shook his head slightly: "That's not enough. Just based on his behavior of using monsters to make elixirs, he can't compete with Tao. What you have said so far is just speculation."
Luo Wanxiang's eyes sharpened: "But Tao Taoist's body is still being guarded by the Jinyi Guards. No filth was discharged after being hanged. The body is neither rotten nor smelly. It is obviously because he is half demon blood, so he is very different from ordinary people. This
It’s also evidence!”
The old Taoist priest said: "The Tao family is good at the divine forbidden method, which is enough to cover up the evil spirit. Unless the body is dissected, otherwise, these alone can be explained by swallowing pills."
Luo Wanxiang knew that dissecting the corpse was the last resort, but he still did not give up: "According to Dr. Li's speculation, Tao Tao is not dead. If he suddenly comes to life again and walks around the world as a demon, will he be able to become Tao?"
Ironclad evidence of colluding with monsters?"
"Miracle Doctor Li Shizhen"
The old Taoist priests have had a thunderous feeling about this name recently. From the previous head-swapping incident to the current half-human and half-demon rebellion, its key influence is indispensable. Hearing this, he became solemn: "This is Dr. Li."
What did you say specifically?"
Luo Wanxiang said: "Divine Doctor Li said that there should be two 'selves' in Tao Tao's body. It may be one body with two souls, or it may be a strange state after the two races are mixed."
"In this case, Tao Tao, who corresponds to human nature, died, and Tao Tao, who corresponds to demon nature, began to steal
The body will naturally come back to life when he is done."
"As a demon!"
The old Taoist priest pondered for a moment, opened his cuffs, and a ray of light flew out: "In that case, you go to be a witness and wear this thing for self-defense!"
Luo Wanxiang took it and saluted: "Thank you Master for giving me this treasure!"
"How long do you think we have to look at this corpse?"
"Who knows? Just wait and see."
"They also said that the key to this case is the corpse. Ha, after so many days, nothing happened!"
"I have no choice but to push someone to death. I have to shirk it. But Dr. Li is really powerful. He is obviously a medical student, but he can speak clearly and eloquently in solving the case. Even the seventh master was frightened by him at the time. It's just pitiful
If you kill us people, your work will be in vain!"
In the Jinyiwei command post, two Jinyiwei stood boredly in front of the morgue, chatting in low voices.
Originally there was no dedicated morgue here. Jinyiwei is not a warm place. Usually the corpses are thrown out directly to feed the dogs. This time is a special case. Not only did Tao Taoist's corpse be properly placed, but a changing of the guard was also arranged.
Make sure it is supervised at all times.
No one wants to work overtime for no reason, let alone guarding a corpse, so complaints are inevitable.
But when Jin Yiwei complained, he didn't notice that the white cloth covering the body in the room suddenly undulated slightly, as if a living person was breathing underneath.
Soon the ups and downs disappeared, and the white cloth calmly covered it again, but the corpse had slowly opened its eyes.
His pupils rotated slightly, and finally turned into a weird erect look, sharp and thin, radiating a strange luster, and he let out a slight cry: "Hiss!"
"What's the sound?" "Like a snake."
The Jin Yiwei who followed Zhu Qi south were all capable officers with good martial arts skills. Even when they were talking, they could listen to all directions. The two of them immediately looked at each other: "Did you hear that too?"
"Then it's not an illusion? It's inside!"
The two men immediately grasped the embroidered spring knives at their waists, stood ready, and entered the morgue, looking around.
The first thing to guard against is the thieves who sneak into this place. Whether they want to destroy the corpse or steal the corpse, the thieves must not be allowed to succeed.
But soon, they searched around and found that they could not find any sign of intrusion from outsiders, and their eyes subconsciously fell on the morgue in the middle.
"No way"
The white cloth is uncovered.
A corpse appeared in front of him. Tao Tao's eyes were closed, his limbs were stiff, his body was cold, and the marks on his neck were clearly visible.
No matter how you look at it, this person is too dead to die.
"Let's not scare ourselves!"
The white cloth was covered again, and the two guards looked at each other, still preferring that a thief was approaching: "Do you want to report it now?"
If you report it at this time, one person must leave. Without care, the enemy may take advantage of it. But if you do not report it, the thief may leave in a grand manner.
"Master Qi asked us to take good care of the body. We should take this as our top priority and keep it here!"
The two Jin Yiwei thought about it again and again. In view of the family rules in Jin Yiwei, they finally did not dare to make any mistakes. After discussion, they stayed in the house.
"Damn it, what on earth is going on with these royal guards!"
Under the white cloth, Tao Taoist opened his eyes again, with a ferocious and cruel look in his erect pupils.
He woke up three days ago, but he has been lying there until now.
On the one hand, it takes time to fully grasp this familiar yet unfamiliar body, and on the other hand, it is also difficult for him to accept the surveillance from the outside.
In the original plan, even if Tao Tao was not buried at this time, he should be placed in a coffin in the mourning hall. Since there were no relatives in Nanjing, he was left unattended.
Unexpectedly, not only was there a strict guard outside, but even the guards were not able to be mobilized away despite the deliberate noise they made just now for twelve hours.
"In this case, grandpa, I will enjoy blood food today!"
This greatly disrupts the following lines
Tao Daoren couldn't suppress the violent energy in his heart. He couldn't care about anything else and stood up suddenly.
The two Jin Yiwei did not lose their vigilance, but when the body that had just been inspected and confirmed to be dead suddenly sat up, covered with white cloth, their scalps were numb with shock, their souls were out of their minds, their movements were slowed down for most of a beat, and they could only watch the sharp claws in
The pupils are constantly dilating.
"Zheng!"
Fortunately, at this moment, a lightning-like sword flashed in, and Zhu Qi pounced in, volleying his sword in the air and hitting his sharp claws.
There was a sound like gold and iron clashing, and Tao Tao Ren flicked his arm. Zhu Qi suddenly felt a majestic force coming over him, and his whole body was blown away. He said in a deep voice: "Are you really a monster?"
These words made Tao Tao's heart sink instantly. He roared, the white cloth was torn open, and he emerged completely from the dead, no longer entangled, and quickly ran out.
He stepped out with his legs and charged forward with long strides. Soon he arrived at the gate of the East Garden, and his expression changed again.
Because a large number of people have been waiting here early.
"Li Shizhen!"
When Tao Tao saw the leader, he gnashed his teeth and roared.
The leader was none other than Li Yan, and at the same time, the Jin Yiwei headed by Zhu Qi, the Dongchang spies headed by Yang Jinshui, and the Nanjing nobles headed by Xu Pengju were all present.
"Alive! So alive!"
The most excited people at this time are the nobles who still don’t know the truth.
Is it better to get a healthy body? Or is it better to resurrect the dead directly?
Nanjing is truly a gathering of talents, and I feel like I am going to be stunned by happiness.
"careful!!"
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the "resurrected" Tao Taoist running towards here. He twisted his body weakly and bonelessly to avoid the combined attacks of Jin Yiwei and Dongchang, and opened his mouth crazily, half wide.
With an open face, the leader Xu Peng raised his head and swallowed it in one gulp.
