Grass clippings flew up amid the hiss of the sword energy, and when Wei Anfu retreated violently, Xiao Muyun grabbed Luo Xiaoyao's arm with one hand, and in a flash of lightning, he turned around and rushed to the top of the rain-shielding corridor more than ten feet away. The two of them tapped their toes.
Rush forward and rush forward.
When they reached the courtyard gate connected to the end of the rain-shielding corridor, they joined hands and jumped into the palace with several towers. As soon as their feet landed on the ground, they heard a voice, "You two, go first."
Come here to avoid..."
When the sound was gone, I saw a woman in her fifties standing in the corridor of the east side hall. She was wearing palace clothes. Under the moonlight, she could see that she had a profound temperament and was graceful and elegant. The door of the wing behind her was open at this time.
This wing is at the edge of the passage. Once Wei Anfu catches up, with his cultivation, he will be able to detect that the two of them are hiding in the room. However, the situation is so critical that Luo and Xiao cannot allow Luo and Xiao to think too much.
They looked at each other and walked up the corridor.
Before he had taken three breaths, he heard a voice, "Wei Anfu has met Lord Gong Ling."
"I wonder why Mr. Wei came to Cuining Palace in the middle of the night?"
Before closing the door, Luo and Xiao were shocked and doubtful. When they broke into the room, the woman was in the corridor, and the sound she heard came from the passage next to the wing. But I guess she should
It was when the two of them broke into the side room and walked silently to the passage. When they first saw her, they saw that she had no cultivation. Now the two of them had concluded that she was in the realm of Baodan Dacheng.
"Wei heard the sounds of fighting and killing on the royal road, so he went out to check and saw two men with extraordinary skills rushing towards the West Palace. He was afraid of alarming the Queen Mother's Holy Horse, so he chased after them."
The palace magistrate has great power. He holds the phoenix seal for the empress dowager or a close associate of the empress, and is in charge of many affairs in the harem. He travels to various places in the harem in the middle of the night, possibly to handle affairs. But I heard that the empress dowager's bedroom is located here.
In the West Palace, Xiao Muyun was shocked again. She was born in a noble family and was familiar with palace etiquette. However, she knew that the empress dowagers of all generations had lived in the east-facing palace, but she could not figure out why she moved to the West Palace.
"Oh? Did Wei Zongfeng see them breaking into Cuining Palace?"
"Your Majesty the Palace Ling made fun of me. There were adults sitting in Cuining Palace, and even a mosquito couldn't fly in. Wei thought that they should break into other palaces... But the harem was not something that Wei could easily set foot on, so he came here.
Inform your lord the palace."
Luo Xiaoyao and Xiao Muyun were very surprised. It would be normal to say that they did not see them hiding in this wing, but they were obviously lying if they said that they did not see them breaking into the palace.
"I see. Thank you very much, Mr. Wei. I will send people to search."
"Master Gong Ling took action, so Wei was relieved... However, when Wei was chasing her, he fought with one of the women and found that the swordsmanship she used was the same as Master Gong Ling's unique skill."
Luo Xiaoyao and Xiao Muyun were shocked when they heard this. Although they knew about Ma Xilan's sect, they didn't know much about it. They couldn't guess the identity of this woman, but they thought she should be a layman from Qingxin'an in Hengshan.
The disciple must have seen the two of them fighting with Wei Anfu in the dark, and recognized the 'Tai Su Sword Technique', and then showed up to guide him to hide in the wing. Thinking of this, the two of them tightened and loosened their hands.
, they all felt that each other was relieved.
"Oh?! So it seems that a junior from the master's sect came to visit me and broke into the palace at night... I should investigate it myself. I will bear in mind Mr. Wei's reminder."
As the voice of Wei Anfu's resignation fell, the woman's figure appeared at the door of the wing. He saw her walking into the room and lighting the palace lantern. "You two, please sit down and talk..."
"Thank you for your great kindness, senior."
Luo and Xiao just thought that she was the elder of Mahilan's sect, so they expressed their gratitude to her and sat down on the embroidered pier beside the round table in the room.
The woman walked to the bed and sat down, looking at Xiao Muyun, "Who is your master in Qingxinan Ning generation?"
The female nun from Qingxin'an who is the same generation as Ma Xilan is born with the surname "Ning". Xiao Muyun stood up and saluted and said: "The junior master's surname is Chu, and the Taisu Eleven Swords are passed down to the junior master..."
Before she finished speaking, the woman's expression suddenly changed, "Your surname is Chu? Is it Chu Nanfeng?"
Xiao Muyun and Luo Xiaoyao were shocked when they heard the woman say excitedly: "Your master's wife's surname is Ma...? The Ninth Princess, is she still alive?" She could see tears blinking in her words.
Ma Xilan was the ninth among the brothers and sisters, and Luo Xiao and Xiao knew it. Now, hearing this woman's tone, they not only knew Chu Nanfeng, but were also acquaintances with Ma Xilan. Luo Xiaoyao and Xiao Muyun were shocked and looked at each other.
, they all nodded with surprise.
"How did your master find the Ninth Princess? Where is she now?" The woman thought it was difficult to control the excitement in her heart, so she asked again and again.
"Senior is...?"
Hearing Xiao Muyun's question, the woman looked determined, then smiled and said: "In terms of seniority, your sister would call me uncle... I was the one who begged Senior Sister Jinghui to accept her as my disciple."
Ma Xilan studied under Master Jinghui, the abbot of Qingxin Temple in Hengshan. Luo and Xiao knew it well, but they knew that the woman in front of them should be regarded as their master's uncle. The two of them hurriedly bowed and bowed.
"Disciple Xiao Muyun has met my uncle..."
"Disciple Luo Xiaoyao has met my great uncle..."
"Okay, okay. But my father is the personal servant of the former King of Chu, and the Ninth Princess is also my master..." The woman smiled and gestured for the two of them to sit down, turned to Luo Xiaoyao, and said: "I
I just saw you fighting with Wei Anfu, and your Qi was suddenly strong and weak... What was the reason? How could you have hidden your cultivation Qi now? How did you do it before you reached the level of Bao Dan..."
Just as Luo and Xiao expected, while they were fighting with Wei Anfu, the woman was already watching in secret.
"This junior is fortunate to have the guidance of an expert, and he can hide his cultivation before he has reached greatness." Luo Xiaoyao said with a bitter smile: "I was tricked by someone two hours ago, and I was poisoned by a poison that eliminated my qi. I didn't dare to use my true energy, so I just
Suppress the Qi machine..."
"Oh?! Let me see..." The woman looked shocked, stood up, walked in front of Luo Xiaoyao, and held his pulse.
"Who caused this poison? Where is the person who poisoned it?" But I saw the woman's face suddenly changed, and she was solemn but there was shock and anger.
"It's a Taoist named Yimu, and his disciples don't know its origin. But my uncle can figure out the origin of this poison?
"The poison you have been poisoned can hurt the vitality of the seven souls... If you were not a dual-cultivation body and the vitality is endless, you may have suffered an unexpected event."
The woman paused for a moment and then said: "After the accident happened to the Ninth Princess, I rushed to Qingxin Temple after receiving the news. It happened that your master was also in the nunnery. I heard what he said that the Ninth Princess was poisoned by the Medicine King Valley.
I also asked about the properties of this poison that day, and it was said that it can erode people’s Qi and cause them to die from exhaustion of energy..."
"Uncle Master, did you say that Senior Brother won the 'Qianji Powder'?"
"From what I can tell, this must be the case. I heard your master said that this poison can only be controlled by the people of Yaowang Valley. Could it be that your master hurt the people of Yaowang Valley and now they seek revenge on you...? Alas, your master should have
That person named Miao should be killed."
Luo and Xiao both guessed that Chu Nanfeng had not forced Miao Changning to swear not to tell others about the 'Thousand Machine Powder', and that this woman did not know Miao Changning's personality either. She only knew that Miao Changning had seen it.
He hates and waits for opportunities to cause others to harm him.
"But after being poisoned, Senior Wife's appearance changed drastically and she aged instantly, while Senior Brother..."
The woman didn't know what happened to Mahilan after she was poisoned. She lost her voice when she heard this and said, "Ah?! Princess Ninth Princess... how has she become?"
Xiao Muyun glanced at Luo Xiaoyao and told the woman what Ma Xilan had told her about the past poisoning.
The woman's mood fluctuated greatly as she listened, and her expression was mixed with sadness and joy. After Xiao Muyun finished speaking, she said with emotion: "The suffering your master has suffered must be extremely difficult. Fortunately, your master is true to his love and makes his beloved disciple
Mr. Yi is eager to find the essence of the continuation and the true essence...if he never forgets it, there will be an echo."
After a pause of words, he pressed Luo Xiaoyao's pulse gate again, and circulated the Qi machine to circulate through the meridians in Luo Xiaoyao's body for a week. He then retracted his hands and sat on the edge of the bed, concentrating on meditation. Luo and Xiao knew that she was feeling something, so they did not dare to
Excuse me, all three of them were silent for a while.
After a long time, the woman said: "The elixir technique of Yaowang Valley is unparalleled in the world... If my prediction is correct, this poison that damages people's vitality should come from Yaowang Valley, and it is 'Qianji'."
There is no doubt that it will be scattered."
Luo Xiaoyao and Xiao Muyun were shocked. They were confused for a moment as to why she made such a conclusion. They glanced at Luo Xiaoyao and Xiao Muyun with surprised expressions on their faces. The woman slowly said: "I think it was the person who made this 'Qian Ji Powder' in the first place.
I don’t know how toxic this powder is... After hearing what you just said about the journey of Nine Princesses from being poisoned to recovering, I guess the toxicity of this Qianji Powder can only harm people in the realm of spiritual consciousness, making them seven
When the spirit is exhausted, he will die of old age."
"When the Ninth Princess was poisoned, the foundation of the seven souls was severely damaged, which made her look old. Fortunately, Master Xuanyin of Xiangu'an lost her true energy twice, so she was able to protect her chance of survival."
"But at that time, the foundation of her seven souls was like a tree with dry roots, and Master Xuanyin's energy was like water, which only allowed it to survive temporarily, even though the true energy she connected with had spiritual thoughts, and she held the elixir.
However, in the end, it only treats the symptoms but not the root cause..."
"And your master, Mr. Yi, knows that the Qi mechanism of the 'Taichu Heart Sutra' can regenerate the nine princesses' damaged seven souls. This is to transfer the true energy to the nine princesses, and then teach the skills to the nine princesses to escape her...
"
"The Seven Souls of the Ninth Princess have been damaged for a long time, and the veins in the body have shrunk. Although there is vitality, there is no vitality. If the appearance is to be restored, the essence in the body must be returned to its original state. But it is not easy to return to old age, but
It is not the power of holding the elixir that can change it, so your master did not hesitate to expend the cultivation of the Nascent Soul and inject the power of the pure essence of the inner elixir, so that the seven souls of the Nine Princesses can be full of vitality..."
The woman paused for a moment and let out a long sigh, with a sentimental look on her face. Luo and Xiao only said that Yi Wuwei had passed away and died at the end of his life. When they heard the woman's analysis, they knew that what she said was reasonable, and they were shocked.
But knowing the great kindness of teachers, everyone is also deeply moved.
"You are currently in the state of attaining a small level of attainment by holding elixirs, and you have the Great Success Technique to suppress the fluctuations of energy in your body. Although the vitality of the seven souls is damaged, it does not damage the foundation. And these thousands of energy particles only erode the power of spiritual thoughts.
It won’t cause your appearance to change suddenly.”
"But if your energy is devoured by another 30%, the fetal elixir in your body will be broken. By then, I am afraid that even the state of return to true state will not be guaranteed..."
"What should we do?" Xiao Muyun was shocked.
"While you still have 50% of your power, you can catalyze the destruction of the Fetus Pill by yourself, and let the Fetus Pill true energy offset the remaining poison of Qian Ji Powder. Even if you fall, you will at least have a small level of spiritual awareness left. And you have dual cultivation.
With your physique, it shouldn’t be difficult to store the Fetal Pill again, but it will only take a few years... You need to know that if an ordinary person breaks the Fetal Pill, there is no hope of entering the realm of holding the Pill."
Luo Xiaoyao remembered that Mu Daocheng had said that his Fetal Pill Qi was too strong, and the soul-inducing power could not communicate with the spiritual consciousness in the Fetal Pill, so he could guide it to the Heavenly Pass to warm and nourish its spirit. Hearing this, his heart moved and he felt happy.
, "Master, uncle, does he have a quiet room for his disciples to comprehend?"
"Enlightenment?" Xiao Muyun was greatly distressed when he heard that Luo Xiaoyao said that enlightenment was not healing, and his face looked happy, but he was momentarily surprised and confused.
Luo Xiaoyao was afraid that she would be interested, so he told what Mu Daocheng had said that day, but Xiao Muyun was overjoyed when he heard it. After hearing this, the woman nodded and said with a smile: "You must be blessed with deep blessings... Okay, come with me."
Let’s understand ‘Cuiyanxuan’.”
This 'Cuiyanxuan' has three single-story wooden houses separated from each other in the west direction of the inner garden. Going up to the long corridor in front of the house, which is more than ten feet wide, the woman led Luo Xiaoyao to the left wooden house and said, "This room is still ordinary to me.
The room of meditation, the wood used in this room is very good, and noise is difficult to penetrate. Your junior sister and I will protect you in the middle room... Just meditate and meditate."
"Thank you, uncle..." Luo Xiaoyao bowed and saluted, turned to look at Xiao Muyun, blinked and smiled, and then entered the wooden house.
After calling Xiao Muyun to the low table seat in the wooden house in the middle, the woman smiled and said: "It's a good time for your senior brother to meditate and meditate. You can come and listen to the reason behind this..."
"Disciple, I obey..." After Xiao Muyun made the first salute, he told the reason why he wanted to seek revenge on Zhuo Qinglian. The woman looked angry when she heard this, "This Zhuo Qinglian is so vicious, which is beyond my imagination.
After dawn, I will definitely let Lu Qiongxian capture her and deal with her..."
Although Xiao Muyun knew that the power of the imperial edict was very powerful, it was limited to harem affairs. Lu Qiongxian was a high official in the court, and Zhuo Qinglian was her confidant, but he did not know how his great uncle could allow Lu Qiongxian to capture Zhuo Qinglian.
Seeing the confusion on Xiao Muyun's face, the woman smiled slightly and said, "Do you know who the empress dowager of the Han Dynasty is? She is the eldest sister of your wife, who is also the princess of the Chu Kingdom."
"Ah?!" Xiao Muyun never expected this. Ma Xilan never told Xiao Muyun that her eldest sister was the Empress Dowager of the Southern Han Dynasty.
"Since the territorial dispute between the Southern Han Dynasty and Chu State, the princess fell out of favor with Emperor Gaozu. Although she was not deposed as queen, she moved from the Central Palace to Cining Palace. Later, the emperor who succeeded him respected the princess as the queen.
The Queen Mother, but the war with the Chu State continues. The princess is bitter and shameless towards the people of Chu. She becomes depressed and ill. For more than ten years, she has been trapped in Cining Palace due to illness. Alas..."
It turned out that when the Southern Han Dynasty was at war with the Chu State, Ma Xilan's eldest sister did not want her mother's family to fight against her husband's family, so she persuaded Liu Yan, the founder of the Southern Han Dynasty, to stop fighting. However, Liu Yan was angry and fell out of favor. And the emperor who succeeded him was not her biological child.
, although he respected her as the empress dowager, he did not listen to her advice to live in harmony with the Chu State, and even became depressed and sick.
Xiao Muyun knew the reason why the Empress Dowager did not live in the East Palace, but thought that she was sick with worry because she was unable to prevent the people from suffering from war disasters. He secretly sighed in his heart, "Then the Empress Dowager is now in a phoenix body..."
"The princess has been running out of oil, and I am afraid she will be sad this month... She has been by the princess's side for forty-two years, but it is difficult to protect her. Anna Mei has truly lived up to the trust of King Wu Mu.
…”
The "King Wu Mu" in her mouth refers to Ma Xilan's father Ma Yin. When Ma Xilan's eldest sister married Liu Yan, Ma Yin asked Anna Mei to accompany her as a personal maid.
Xiao Muyun only felt that Anna Mae, who had black hair, was only in her fifties. Now that she had been with her for forty-two years, she guessed that she was already sixty years old. But she felt that her loyalty was rare in the world, so he heard that she had been with her for forty-two years.
She felt ashamed for what she said, and felt a lot of emotion in her heart.
Anna Mae was silent for a moment, looked at Xiao Muyun, smiled, and said: "Lu Qiongxian was originally the maid of Cuining Palace. Although she is currently serving as a servant, I will use my power to let her take Zhuo Qinglian... I guess she
I dare not respond, but she is a treacherous person and may secretly inform Zhuo Qinglian to escape. After the morning court, I will summon her to Cuining Palace for questioning. At that time, I will order her to be arrested immediately. You can accompany the guards.
If you go, I won't be afraid of her cheating."
Xiao Muyun had this intention. Hearing this, he felt happy and heard He Mei say: "And that Mu Taoist is not a simple person. It's a pity that I have rarely asked about matters outside the palace for more than ten years, but I don't know when there was such a number."
Please inquire with Lu Qiongxian about the character later... If it is possible, I will go find him personally and capture him."
"Taoist Namu should be a master of Dan Bao, but after his disciples capture Zhuo Qinglian, he will go with his uncle..."
"The emperor is tyrannical and immoral, and he is superstitious about witchcraft. I'm afraid that this Taoist will be familiar with the witch Fan Huzi, and there will be trouble..."
"What do you mean, Uncle Master?"
"Lu Qiongxian is a cunning and deceitful person. She does things to her face and behind her back. She colludes with the witch Fan Huzi. If she wants to protect Taoist Taoist Mu, she will definitely make Fan Huzi slander the emperor. Once the emperor intervenes, I will not be able to find Namu.
Taoist... even arresting Zhuo Qinglian will change things."
"Ask Lu Qiongxian to find out the whereabouts of these two people in Cuining Palace. You go with the guards to capture Zhuo Qinglian, and I will take Lu Qiongxian to find the Mu Taoist." He Mei paused and chuckled, "Although I have been here for more than ten years
I have not fought with anyone, but I have never forgotten my martial arts moves. Even if I am a Nascent Soul or a person with a golden body, it is still possible to fight with twenty or thirty moves, so you don’t have to worry."
The implication is that even if he encounters Yuanying, a person with a golden body, he still has the ability to escape. If he is defeated by Mu Taoist, he will be safe. Xiao Muyun knew that if the Emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty intervened, there would be great trouble.
, Hearing this, he nodded, "Disciple, please follow the arrangements of your master and uncle."
He Mei stood up and said: "Your senior brother is meditating on the poison-reducing ginseng method. I think it will take time. It is already Yin time. You have to do things tomorrow and adjust your breath and rest here. I will come back when I go..."
Xiao Muyun did not dare to ask her why she was there. Hearing this, he stood up and bowed, "Disciple, I have one more thing to ask for..."
"You want to know the whereabouts of the person who is chasing Zhuo Qinglian with you, right?"
Xiao Muyun is a smart person, but after hearing He Mei express what she was thinking, he also guessed that she came here as soon as she left to inquire about the life and death of Lin Youde and the others. After hearing this, he said: "Uncle Shi wants to find Wei Anfu."
inquire about?"
"Haha, you are a smart girl, but you guessed it. Wei Anfu joined the Qianniu Guard twenty years ago. At that time, he was only a minor in spiritual consciousness, and he was ostracized because of his affairs... Dajun
The Lord has taken care of him, and he is a very righteous man. I will ask about him and he will tell me."
Xiao Muyun now understood that when Wei Anfu was chasing after him, he pretended not to know the reason why he broke into Cuining Palace, and felt that he was in love with the Empress Dowager.
"The origin of Wei Anfu's swordsmanship is...?"
Xiao Muyun thought that with this skill, he could use the "Muyun Three Styles" created by Yi Wuwei. The power should be unstoppable by few people, but he did not expect that Wei Anfu would resolve it in the third style. He was filled with doubts in his heart.
"When you fought with him, you used the sword move with three changes in one move because it was powerful. Ordinary people with great mastery of holding pills would not dare to take it head on. But Wei Anfu resolved the sword move, and it was not his sword technique.
It’s clever, but there is another reason.”
He Mei smiled slightly, "It was caused by your own worries. At that time, you thought you were worried about your senior brother's poisonous wound, and you were eager to get away. You threw out your sword with all your strength, but did not hold back your sword energy."
"Wei Anfu has experienced many life-and-death battles, and his mental concentration is unmatched by ordinary people. Although he was frightened and calm, when you changed your sword style for the second time, you saw that the sword energy had lost its concentration, so you tried it with grass clippings.
The flow of sword energy can determine the direction where the tip of your sword stabs."
"If you calm down, use 90% of your strength to attack, use 10% of your strength to protect the sword energy from dissipating, so that the sword's intention is intact, and attack him from another direction... Hehe, I think he won't be able to resolve it.
"
"Thank you, great uncle, for your advice."
Anna Mae chuckled lightly and walked away, but it was not until 3:30 that she arrived at the 'Cuiyan Pavilion'.
"I asked about Wei Anfu and heard that a young man died in the battle and the other two were injured and were arrested by the prison guards..."
"Ah!?" Xiao Muyun was shocked and sighed, "If this disciple hadn't met the master's uncle, he would have been captured... Could the master's uncle have a way to save him?"
"I have asked people to guard outside the court hall. Once the morning court is over, I will ask Lu Qiongxian to come to Cuining Palace. When Zhuo Qinglian is asked about the whereabouts of Taoist Mu, I will ask her to let him go."
Xiao Muyun was about to say thanks, but seemed to realize something. He turned his head and looked towards the door of the house, and saw Luo Xiaoyao walking forward. He was overjoyed and said, "Brother, how about..."
Luo Xiaoyao first saw Anna Mae as a gift, then nodded and smiled at Xiao Muyun: "The poison has been removed, but it has not been able to lead the fetal pill to Tianguan to warm up... But I think it will take another month.
."
"That's right, but if you want to lead the Fetal Pill to Tianguan and enter Dacheng, you still need your Qi to be perfect... Although your Fetal Pill has a double cultivation constitution, the condensed true energy is very rich and powerful, but it is quoted from it.
When the true essence is used to eliminate the remaining poison, it will also consume the mind and energy."
Anna Mei looked at Luo Xiaoyao with a look of surprise on her face, "And you were originally eroded to 50% of your energy, but now you can restore it to 80%...how did you do it?"
Luo Xiaoyao has a dual-cultivation constitution, and the yin and yang energy in his body is endless. When he was hit by Qianji Powder, it was like most of the water in a pond was drained out at once, but the water source was not blocked, and there was still a trickle of water flowing in. And he said to him
It was because of the excess Fetal Pill True Yuan, but it was so rich that Anna Mei could not expect it. After offsetting the remaining poison, until Luo Xiaoyao's soul power could sense the Fetal Pill Divine Consciousness, the power of the True Yuan that had been transformed was
Added 20% Qi Machine.
However, the "Taichu Heart Sutra" has the wonderful truth that there is no Qi but Qi. When the true energy released from the fetal elixir flows through the meridians, it naturally speeds up the growth of Qi and restores 10% of its power.
