Bai Xiaowen sat down directly and expressed through actions, "I don't mind it, just say it."
Needless to say, the emotions of the two ghost palace maids, the ghost queen was overflowing with joy and told the whole story of the changes in Jiangdu City.
In the 13th year of Daye, Tang Gong Li Yuan entered the capital and established the acting king Yang You as the emperor, changing the Yuan Dynasty to Yining. Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang, who was in Jiangdu, became the Supreme Emperor inexplicably.
Of course, Yang Guang would not use his son's reign name. He would continue to use the Daye reign name and insisted not to return to the capital - he had already made plans to settle down in a corner and prepare to make Jiangdu his new capital.
However, Yang Guang's subordinates rebelled.
In March of the 14th year of Daye, Youtunwei general Yu Wenhuaji and his younger brother Yuwen Zhiji, together with the Xiaoguo army led by Wu Benlang general Sima Dekan, rebelled. The rebels entered the palace directly, and Qianniu Beishen (equivalent to Qianniu Beishen) who was responsible for protecting the emperor
The imperial guards) Li Xiaoben and Li Xiaozhi's brothers defected in response.
Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Dynasty was hanged to death by rebels.
Yu Wenhua coveted the beauty of Empress Xiao, but failed to seize her. Empress Xiao hit a pillar and died.
When Bai Xiaowen heard this, he muttered. According to the official history, Empress Xiao lived a wandering life until she died in the 21st year of Zhenguan and was buried with Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty. Unexpectedly, in the spiritual world, the empress's situation was slightly different.
different.
After just sighing for a moment, Bai Xiaowen still listened carefully to Queen Xiao's story.
The previous processes are actually recorded in Sui books, which are not much different from official history. Bai Xiaowen is not surprised. However, the development of the plot after the death of Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty gradually deviated from history and rushed in the direction of fantasy.
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, like many emperors who were not doing their jobs properly, was fond of immortality. Everywhere he went, he carried a gold box engraved with dragon patterns with him, keeping it secret from others.
After the death of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, the dragon-patterned golden box was naturally taken over by the rebels.
But I don't know what happened to the dragon-patterned golden box, which caused the rebels in Jiangdu City to gradually undergo changes, becoming more human and more ghostly.
The rebels were afraid. Some said it was the crime of regicide, so they were punished by heaven. Others blamed it on the dragon-patterned gold box and tried to destroy it, but no one succeeded - to be precise, for the dragon-patterned gold box
They couldn't even "open" the box.
The rebels tried to escape from Jiangdu, but they were hit by the weird "air wall" - now, everyone felt that it was a punishment from heaven.
The rebels went to the mass graves, trying to find the emperor's body for a proper burial, but they found that the environment around the mass graves seemed to have changed, and was filled with an extremely cold aura, which would affect their current semi-demonized state.
The body rejects it.
According to Empress Xiao's explanation, this cold breath was the blessing of the heroic spirit of Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang after his death.
After forcing a few demonized soldiers to test and disappear silently, the rebels did not dare to come again.
Over time, the rebels in Jiangdu City have all turned into monsters. Even though they still have human forms, they are just disguises. Their true appearance is that each one is uglier and more sinister than the last.
Bai Xiaowen noticed that when Empress Xiao mentioned the demons in Jiangdu City, she still referred to them as "rebels" and "bandits." This not only represented a habit, but also meant that Empress Xiao regarded the Jiangdu City rebels as demons.
In fact, it is not very sensitive - because Queen Xiao's current race is the ghost race, which is also a branch of the "demon race".
Empress Xiao said this and made a summary: "The thieves in Jiangdu City are always thinking about breaking into the mass graves, eliminating the concubine, and snatching His Majesty's body. They themselves are affected by the Dragon Pattern Golden Box and cannot enter.
, and found the Taoist Priest. The Taoist Priest is an outsider and has not been affected by the Dragon Pattern Golden Box at present, but as time goes by, he will become the same as the Jiangdu City thieves."
Bai Xiaowen immediately observed his own status. On the attribute panel, he saw an inconspicuous negative effect.
[The breath of the dragon-patterned gold box: The target is affected by the space power of the dragon-patterned gold box and is assimilating with a specific space area. Every hour, the concentration of yin energy in the body increases by 2.5%. When the concentration of yin energy reaches 100%, the target will
Lost his identity as an awakened person and was forcibly transformed into a monster creature.】
Bai Xiaowen was slightly shocked. He finally realized where the uncomfortable and depressing feeling he felt after stepping into this precious space came from.
It turns out that the influence of this dragon-patterned gold box is also effective on the awakened, subtly changing the physique of the awakened!
According to time calculation, after the awakened person steps into the space portal, he will begin to be affected by the Dragon Marked Golden Box. If he cannot break the trap within the time limit, he will be transformed into a demon and lose his identity as an awakened person.
And this time limit is 40 hours—that is, three days and eight hours!
Empress Xiao didn't know Bai Xiaowen's psychological activities, and was still working hard to instigate rebellion: "The Taoist priest is a moral person. He should not help the tyrants to commit evil, but would rather help the thieves like Jiangdu City who have committed rebellion, right? Now His Majesty's holy body is here,
However, the true spirit has been completely damaged. If the Taoist priest can kill the 'ten thieves' who betrayed His Majesty that day and restore His Majesty's true spirit, the widow will be willing to tie a grass ring in the next life and report his great kindness!"
Bai Xiaowen controlled the shadow assassin and turned around to walk back. After Empress Xiao was slightly startled, she did not stop her. Instead, she called the two ghost palace maids with expectation and gave instructions.
The two ghost palace maids followed quietly.
…
Outside the cold atmosphere of the mass grave, Bai Xiaowen slowly opened his eyes.
"How?" Tang Fengyi asked, "Has the Taoist found out the clues?"
"Yes, I do understand something." Bai Xiaowen nodded and said, "Evils are causing trouble in broad daylight. As a Taoist, I cannot sit idly by and ignore them. Today I will kill the demons and return Jiangdu City to peace."
Tang Fengyi was overjoyed: "The Taoist priest is kind, and I will take the place of the people of Jiangdu City. Thank you very much!"
call!
Li Shuyi took a sudden step and slid behind Tang Fengyi. With a movement as fast as thunder, the Red Sky Sword came out from behind Tang Fengyi's chest, extending a bright sword tip.
Tang Fengyi froze suddenly and looked at Bai Xiaowen in disbelief: "Taoist Priest, what do you mean?"
"Slay the demons." Bai Xiaowen smiled.
"roar!"
Large swaths of black mist suddenly rose from Tang Fengyi's body, and he instantly transformed from an armored general into a ferocious and ugly demon!
He has doubled in height, has a head of knotted brown hair, and two tumors on his forehead. Under a pair of triangular eyes, there is a nose covered with small tumors, and fangs extending out of the mouth.
"The mouth looks quite similar to that of an orc," Bai Xiaowen commented, "However, it is uglier than that of an orc. It looks like the product of the combination of an orc and a toad."
Tang Fengyi's face was grim: "Damn stinking Taoist priest, Niubi! You are dead!" He suddenly swayed and threw himself forward.
