In desperation, Li Shilan had no choice but to accept the ironclad secret order and agreed to let Liu Zhong go to the rescue alone.
Liu Zhong pointed to the bushes beside the archway of the palace kitchen and said: "Brothers, please hide behind the bushes and wait for me for the time being, so as not to be questioned by anyone and leak the truth." As he said that, he quickly walked towards the lotus pond.
Walk away quickly.
Li Shilan and Luo Jian hid behind the bushes and sat on the ground dejectedly.
"Hey! I'm so useless! I can't even protect the woman I love!" Li Shilan slapped herself hard.
"Alan, don't be like this! I feel bad too." Luo Jian comforted, "But we are really powerless! In modern times, we are college students, and in the Tang Dynasty, we are just scholars. Not to mention that we are helpless.
He may have the strength of a chicken, but he doesn't have any martial arts skills. It's really beyond his power to do something! Hey!" Luo Jian persuaded and became discouraged.
"By the way! Ah Lan, don't you have a martial arts secret book? Take it out and practice!" Luo Jian suddenly remembered the mountain-holding treasure of the Kongyuan Sect.
"Practice now? What's the use of cramming?" Li Shilan still couldn't get excited.
"It's useless to sharpen your weapons in battle. Anyway, we have nothing else to do now. We are just waiting and worrying, so why not read a book!" Luo Jian said and took out the book of strategy from his arms. "You forgot the time.
Is the importance of reasonable use of fragmented time taught in management courses?”
"Okay, okay, I've convinced you! Can't you do it?" Li Shilan didn't want to listen to Luo Jian's rambling anymore, and took out the secret book of Qi training from his arms.
The two of them calmed down and sat cross-legged to read.
Li Shilan opened the first chapter, which is called: Dispelling Turbidity and Producing Essence. Before practicing this skill, you must completely relax your body and mind. Specifically, you can relax from the head, to the neck, to the shoulders, from top to bottom, and relax each part of the body in turn.
After the whole body is relaxed, close your eyes slightly and try to focus on the back of your eyes. After you feel a sense of heat, try to shift your attention to the center of your eyebrows. When you feel a white light flashing in front of your eyes, try to
This fleeting white light forms a white light in the mind. At this time, concentrate on calming down the breath, relax the whole body, and be loose but not slumped. Later, I will explain how to practice the basic breath guidance.
Li Shilan sat cross-legged on the grass behind the bushes beside the kitchen door of the royal palace, enjoying the aroma of the dishes, but he also practiced the unparalleled magical skills that he could hardly imagine.
"Pfft!" Li Shilan, who was feeling comfortable and clear while practicing kung fu, suddenly farted.
"It stinks!" Luo Jian quickly covered his nose, "You want to commit murder!"
"I -" Li Shilan was about to explain, but she was so smoked that she quickly covered her nose.
After a while, when the smell dissipated, the two of them spoke.
"Alan, we haven't eaten much these days! Why do you fart so smelly?" Luo Jian complained.
"Hey, I don't know either, but after farting, I feel comfortable all over my body now!" Li Shilan seemed to be in good health physically and mentally, and then picked up the secret book to read.
But the answer was revealed in the book, saying: If you practice in this chapter and successfully guide the breath according to the method in the book, exhaust will occur, and the exhaust will often have a very smelly smell! At this point, the innate and acquired diseases in the body will
The filthy air has been eliminated! It has the foundation for practicing the subsequent exercises. Moreover, the cultivator has already possessed certain skills or abilities. This ability will make the cultivator more sensitive to smells and can immediately identify general smells.
, those with high talent can even identify the nature of smells they have never smelled before.
Seeing this, Li Shilan seemed to have something. The smell of pine trees around her and the smell of earth beneath her body seemed to be stronger. The aroma of dishes wafting from the kitchen was even more tempting, and her stomach growled.
Only then did he remember that, as Luo Jian had just said, the two of them had not eaten for nearly two days. The idea came to their mind to get something to eat from the kitchen.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a voice that seemed to be a middle-aged woman's disgust from inside the kitchen wall: "Who fart just now is so smelly?"
See through poisonous schemes
"Whose farts are so smelly?" Following a woman's complaint, footsteps sounded, getting closer and closer to the arch.
Li Shilan and Luo Jian were hiding behind the bushes, and now they were sitting there without daring to move.
"Xiao Lian, you must cover this food box and hold it securely! There can be no mistakes!" said the middle-aged woman.
"You must be careful, aunt. Don't worry!" A young woman replied respectfully.
"Remember, you must hand it over to our Lady Hui, you know? You must not pass it through other people's hands on the way." The middle-aged aunt warned again, "In a moment, you can go out through the back door, get on Ah Fu's carriage, and he will be delivered directly to you.
You go to Xingqing Palace." As they said this, the two of them walked to the bush where Li Shilan and Luo Jian were hiding.
Li Shilan seemed to smell the aroma of wine, followed by an inexplicable smell. Although she didn’t know what the smell was, she was sure that it was very strange and dangerous. Suddenly, two things flashed in Li Shilan’s mind.
One word - poison!
"Go quickly!" As the sound of light footsteps got farther and farther away, the smell became weaker and weaker. Only two "squeaking and banging" doors were heard in the direction of the wall, and the strange smell completely disappeared.
Then came the footsteps of a middle-aged woman, gradually disappearing in another direction.
"Who is this poisonous wine prepared for?" Li Shilan whispered, "By the way, Luo Jian. Where is Xingqing Palace?"
"Alan, it seems that your historical knowledge is not very good, hehe!" Luo Jian joked, "Xingqing Palace was the palace expanded by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty after Li Longji ascended the throne. It was used as a place for him to handle political affairs and live."
"Is it the main palace where Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty lived?" Li Shilan thought thoughtfully, "Then the poisonous wine just now was probably prepared for him!"
"Poison wine?" Luo Jian looked confused.
Li Shilan showed him the qi training secret book and explained it briefly. Only then did Luo Jian realize that his friend had already advanced in qi training in a short period of time and had such a sensitive judgment on smells. He was really happy for him.
.
"In this way, this poisonous wine was probably used to deal with Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty!" Luo Jian analyzed the situation together, "The middle-aged woman just now told the maid to deliver the wine to Concubine Hui herself.
.If I remember correctly, this Concubine Hui should be Concubine Wu Hui, the favorite concubine of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty before he met Yang Yuhuan, and she is the biological mother of the longevity king Li Hao!"
"Then King Shou is planning to usurp the throne, and his mother must help her son!" Li Shilan said.
"Yes, according to historical records, Concubine Wu Hui designed to frame the then crown prince and two other princes in order for her son, Prince Shou Li Hao, to become the crown prince and inherit the throne in the future. The plot succeeded. Therefore, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty demoted the three of them to common people.
, and later executed him."
"Since you succeeded in framing the prince, why do you still want to rebel?" Li Shilan asked.
"There is no record of King Shou's rebellion in the history books, but if the reason is traced, it should be because even though the prince was executed at that time, Tang Xuanzong still did not appoint King Shou Li Hao as the prince. This means that the purpose of Concubine Wu Hui and her son was not achieved."
"That makes perfect sense! But what should we do now? Go and report to the emperor immediately? But Lin Lanyue and the others haven't been rescued yet!"
"Beep, beep!" Luo Jian's cell phone alarm clock vibrated in Luo Jian's arms. "It's been half an hour!"
