Being forced down from the sky, the two great ministers did not look back, nor did they dare to look back.
Although the person behind him only showed a little breath, even this little breath made people feel intimidated.
This is definitely a strong man in the sixth realm, and a strong man at the peak of the sixth realm. Different from people like them who have just entered the sixth realm for a few years, this kind of person has already stepped into the seventh realm with one foot.
Although the other foot may never be able to cross this situation, it is not something that the two of them can contend with.
The strongest person at the peak of the sixth level has the strength to kill ordinary sixth level people.
An old man looked slightly pale and said: "Senior, I and I are enshrined in Dazhou, and this is the enshrining department..."
The sloppy old Taoist patted their shoulders and said: "You are worshipers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who is not? Don't use the court to pressure me. That guy said he won't let you in, so he won't let you in. Don't cause trouble here. It's my secret.
If something goes wrong with the talisman, you will be buried with you before your longevity is cut off..."
After saying that, his body flew into the air and flew back to the worship department again.
The two old twins looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.
The old man on the right murmured: "He is indeed a peak powerhouse whose longevity is about to end. It's better not to provoke him. Then how did Li Mu recruit such a powerhouse?"
The old man on the left hit him hard on the head and said angrily: "Is this the point? The point is the secret talisman, the secret talisman. This is the secret talisman that can add ten years to your life!"
Although the two brothers still have twenty years to live, twenty years is not enough for them to break through to the seventh realm.
There is an insurmountable chasm between the middle three realms and the upper three realms. Let alone twenty years, even if they are given another forty years, they may not have a chance. But even if they cannot break through, who is not willing to live for ten more years?
?
In these ten years, if you encounter a great opportunity and get promoted by luck, your life will be increased by sixty years out of thin air? Who among the practitioners can resist the temptation of sixty more years of life?
It's a pity that the secret talisman is a holy talisman? So far, I haven't heard of anyone being able to draw it.
Maybe there are still people in the ancestral court of the Fu Lu Sect who have the ability to draw holy level talismans? But the materials consumed for this level of talismans are too precious, and the success rate is too low. With a deep foundation like the Fu Lu Sect, they cannot afford to fail.
risk.
Could it be that the old Taoist just joined the Enshrinement Department? The price paid by the court was a secret talisman?
Although they can't use this item at the moment, they will use it sooner or later. If they can get one, they can live for at least ten more years. Even if they can't break through within ten years, but they are just alive? That's good...
After Li Mu settled down a group of older apprentice nephews, when he returned to the Enshrinement Department, he saw two senior enshriners wandering outside the entrance of the Enshrinement Department.
It seems that although the sloppy old man talks a lot and always does things that are inconsistent with his status, he still does his job conscientiously.
Li Mu came over, looked at the two of them and said, "Aren't you two leaving the Enshrinement Department? Why are you still here? Do you have anything else to take?"
The two of them smiled awkwardly, and an old man said: "Master Li, you are joking. The two of us eat the imperial salary and share the worries of the imperial court. How could we leave the Enshrinement Department?"
Li Mu said: "I have expelled those worshipers who disobeyed orders. I still remember what you two said that day."
The old man who spoke just now said: "Those people serve the imperial court but do not obey the imperial court's orders. They should be expelled. Mr. Li did the right thing."
Li Mu asked: "So, you two have no objections to my actions?"
The two of them nodded at the same time and said, "No."
Li Mu looked at the two of them, sighed softly, and said: "Actually, the two of them have advanced cultivation, and I also want to keep them, but the national treasury has been tight in recent years, such as spiritual jade, elixirs, spiritual treasures, etc.
, there is not much left, and I really can’t afford to support two big worshippers..."
An old man said: "Master Li is joking. Didn't the Enshrinement Department recruit a new great envoy? That senior's salary must be higher, right?"
Li Mu shook his head and said, "You have misunderstood. That senior joined the Enshrinement Department and did not need a salary."
The old man was stunned for a moment, and then said: "But I heard that the imperial court will give him a secret talisman..."
Li Mudao: "He only wants a Heavenly Secret Talisman, not jade and elixirs. If you two also only want a Heavenly Secret Talisman, you can stay in the Enshrinement Department. Otherwise, you two should find another place. I believe that with your strength,
No matter if you join any sect, you can become a guest and worship the small temple, which cannot afford to support two great gods..."
After reaching the sixth level of cultivation, the effect that spiritual jade can have on their cultivation is very small, unless they can absorb an entire spiritual jade mine.
Compared with the spiritual jade, the Tianji Talisman is a real thing that can increase life span. Without this thing, their death will be over twenty years later.
No matter which sect they join, they will not be able to obtain the Heavenly Secret Talisman, and the training resources they can obtain will not be much more than those in the Enshrinement Department.
The two looked at each other, their eyes met, and they quickly made a decision.
The slightly thinner old man smiled and said: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether it's spiritual jade, elixir, or divine talisman. What's important is that the two of us have been in the worship department for many years, and we have already had feelings for each other. We are ready to
Stay in the Worship Department until the deadline comes... By the way, when will the secret talisman be issued?"
Li Mudao: "Five years later."
The old man frowned slightly and asked: "It's taken so long, will the senior get it in five years?"
Li Mu smiled and said: "That senior's cultivation has reached the peak of the sixth realm. He will be able to obtain the Tianji Talisman in one year."
The two knew that Li Mu's words were only half of what he said.
Only those at the peak of the sixth realm can obtain the Tianji Talisman in one year.
The cultivation level of the two of them is far inferior to his, and the time they need to serve the court is also longer.
The thin old man thought for a while and said, "Can we take a look at the secret talisman first?"
Li Mu stretched out his hand and lightly touched the void, and the image of the Tianji Talisman appeared in their eyes.
Li Mu looked at them and said: "The imperial court does not have a finished product for this talisman. It needs to collect materials first, which will also take a certain amount of time."
The two old men pondered for a long time, and then the thin old man said: "Let us think about it..."
Li Mu said indifferently: "You two can do it yourself..."
The two old men left the Enshrinement Department and returned to the mansion to continue their discussions.
"The success rate of holy-level talismans is extremely low. If you can draw one, you may not be able to draw the second one."
"But that old man doesn't seem to be someone who is easily deceived."
"His life is running out, so we can only choose to believe. We have to wait and see."
"You can stay for a year first. If that person really gets the secret talisman, it won't be too late to continue to stay in the Enshrinement Department..."
…
In the imperial palace, Li Mu had already reached the entrance of Changle Palace.
There is no doubt about the strength of the two great priests. Although they are not as good as the sloppy old masters, they are still in the sixth realm. They are also the first figures on the peak in Baiyun Mountain.
If the imperial court spends a lot of resources on such people just to raise them as mascots, Li Mu will naturally disagree.
But if they can work for the court for free, the more the better.
After all, they were two sixth-level experts, and Li Mu was not going to let them go easily.
But this old monster, which has lived for a century, is not so easy to fool.
If you don't show some real skills, I'm afraid I won't be able to scare them.
So he planned to draw a holy talisman now.
Before coming to the palace, Li Mu made a special trip home and told Liu Hanyan and Li Qing that he might not come home for three or four days, so that they didn't have to worry.
Even for Li Mu now, drawing holy talismans is a very labor-intensive task.
Before officially writing the talisman, he must adjust his own state to the best to ensure that the talisman can be successful in the first time.
Li Mu had just used the spirit conch to inform the queen, and she agreed almost without thinking.
Li Mu walked to Changle Palace and said, "I may have to stay in the palace for these three to four days to adjust my condition to its peak."
Zhou Wu said: "Let's just stay in the back hall of Changle Palace. If you need anything, I'll ask Mei Wei to prepare it."
Li Mu added: "My own magic power is not enough to carve the holy talisman. When the time comes, I will have to trouble Your Majesty."
Zhou Wu nodded and said: "I understand, I will help you when the time comes."
Perhaps because they had been together for so long, there was still a little gap between Li Mu and Xuan Jizi, but not at all with the Queen.
With her by his side, Li Mu didn't have any worries at all.
Writing talismans is a very ritualistic thing, and writing high-level talismans is even more so.
When the leaders of Baiyun Mountain were writing the heavenly talismans, in order to ensure the success rate, they would burn incense and bathe half a month in advance, then lock themselves in a quiet room, adjust their mana and mind to their peak state, and then
The script will start.
This is the Queen's palace. There is no need to burn incense and bathe. What Li Mu needs to do is to write the runes of the Tianji Talisman over and over again until muscle memory is formed. This way, he can ensure that he can use all his mind to control the Talisman while writing the Talisman.
mana.
The last time he wrote the Secret Talisman was a few months ago. Now that he was writing again, everything had to be prepared again.
In these three days, the only thing Li Mu had to do was practice.
As for the materials used for the talismans, the Queen had already asked Master Mei to prepare them.
Changle Palace, back hall.
On the table, the materials used for calligraphy were neatly placed. Li Mu stood behind the table, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and said, "Your Majesty, I am ready."
Zhou Wu sat cross-legged on the bed, and a white light shot out of her body and entered Li Mu's body.
Li Mu opened his eyes again, his gaze was profound, as if containing the sun, moon and stars. He picked up the talisman pen, wrapped it in the talisman liquid, and slowly lowered it...
…
City of Gods.
Three uneventful days.
A few days ago, Li Mu took charge of the Enshrinement Department and expelled most of the enshrinements. It seemed that he also had a quarrel with the two great enshrinements. Many people were waiting for his further actions, but he disappeared without warning.
for three days.
In the past three days, he did not go to the Ministry of Education or the Ministry of Worship. Even the people of Shendu did not see him on the street.
Besides that, there is another strange thing.
Yesterday's morning service was paused for no apparent reason.
Since the Queen's stable reign, the morning court has been held every three days, very regularly, with almost no exceptions.
Occasionally, it was stopped because of some large sacrificial ceremonies. It must be said that the Queen was much more diligent than the late emperor in handling the morning court. Among all the emperors in the past, I am afraid that only Emperor Wen, who held morning court every day, was more diligent than the Queen.
The Queen and Li Mu disappeared at the same time, which makes people think a lot.
Especially three days ago, someone saw Li Mu walking into Changle Palace with his own eyes.
Changle Palace is the Queen's bedroom. She usually convenes ministers in Shangyang Palace. Among the foreign ministers, only Li Mu can freely enter and leave her bedroom.
After Li Mu entered Changle Palace, he did not come out for three full days.
Although everyone did not dare to comment, they had already thought a lot in their hearts.
Some people are even wondering whether His Majesty is not planning to pass the throne to the Xiao family or the Zhou family at all, but is planning to give birth to a child himself. This Li Mu looks like a favorite minister, but is actually a favorite concubine, or His Majesty has already found someone.
A good candidate for queen.
As for Li Mu's wife, she is just a cover.
Otherwise, how could they have been in Changle Palace for three days without coming out, and Li Mu's family had no intention of looking for it?
Your Majesty, who has always been diligent, even stopped attending the morning court for Li Mu.
This is not a favored minister who is messing with the government, this is a favored concubine who is messing with the government!
Just when some officials were thinking this, they suddenly felt an inexplicable palpitation.
Then they realized that the sky had darkened at some point.
An official was copying files, and several books on the table were suddenly blown by the wind.
Just when he was about to close the window, he caught a glimpse of the sky outside the window and couldn't help but stand up. His eyes were shocked and he said in panic: "What is this..."
In the capital of the gods, all the government offices and officials in the palace came out one after another and looked at the sky.
I saw dark clouds suddenly gathering in the originally cloudless sky.
Dark clouds covered the sky and covered the entire divine city, as if the entire world was darkened.
The dark clouds were so low that everyone felt as if a huge stone was pressing on their chests and they couldn't breathe at all.
"What's going on here?"
"How could God suddenly have such a vision!"
"I can't breathe, I feel so uncomfortable..."
…
The people of the Divine Capital were also shocked by this sudden vision. This doomsday-like scene made everyone feel uneasy.
Dark clouds were still gathering in the sky, and soon became as thick as ink. There were thunder snakes dancing in the dark clouds from time to time, adding a bit of fear to the scene.
The capital of God, the four major academies.
Four figures floated up at the same time.
"This is?"
"Heavenly Tribulation, someone has been promoted to the seventh realm?"
"No, the heavenly tribulation in the seventh realm is stronger than this..."
In White Deer Academy, a middle-aged man counted his fingers and murmured: "Either someone has been promoted to the seventh realm, or a great treasure has been born. I wonder what caused this vision?"
In the worship department, the slovenly old man was taking a nap. His eyes suddenly opened and his figure appeared in the yard in an instant.
He looked at the strange phenomenon in the sky and was stunned for a moment, then he looked shocked and blurted out: "The Talisman Tribulation, someone has drawn the Holy Order Talisman, my dear, there really is someone in the Zhou Dynasty who can draw this thing...
"
In Da'an Square, the two great priests had already been alarmed by the vision. They stood in the courtyard and looked above their heads in surprise.
After the dark clouds accumulated to a limit, thousands of thunderbolts were released from them, striking in the direction of the palace.
Everyone's eyes were also looking towards the palace.
In the palace, the officials who were observing the celestial phenomena saw the dense thunder above their heads, heading straight for them. Their scalps were numb, their livers and gallbladders were exhausted, and some with low cultivation levels even collapsed to the ground under the power of heaven.
, or even fainted.
Changle Palace, back hall.
Li Mu's face was extremely pale, and sweat was dripping from his forehead, but he didn't care at all.
The writing of the Tianji Talisman has reached the most critical moment.
Writing the holy order talisman this time is different from the time in Baiyun Mountain.
The last time, Li Mu was in the special Hutian space and after drawing the talisman, the vision of the heavenly calamity appeared.
This time, the calamity appeared much faster than Li Mu expected. Before the talisman was drawn, the calamity cloud had already taken shape and formed the first wave of attacks.
Thunder roared in his ears, but he could not be distracted. If he was not careful, three days of hard work and those precious talismans would be wasted.
Outside Changle Palace.
When the tribulation thunders were about to fall, the four walls of the divine capital suddenly flashed with golden light. The next moment, a golden light shield appeared above the divine capital, completely covering the divine capital.
These thunderbolts fell on the light shield, like mud cows falling into the sea, making no sound or making any waves.
Some officials then remembered that as the imperial capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Shendu was protected by a powerful formation. Even if there were thousands of troops and horses, or even the seventh level strong men, they could not break through.
After realizing this, they gradually relaxed.
But he still couldn't help but look in the direction of Changle Palace.
The target of those tribulation thunders was obviously Changle Palace. What were Your Majesty and Li Mu doing there? Why were they even summoned by the sky thunders?
Above the sky, the thunder in the calamity clouds has begun to accumulate in its second wave.
In Changle Palace, Li Mu made the final stroke in an ethereal state.
The talisman on the table slowly floated with a flash of inspiration.
The secret of heaven comes true.
A ray of white light shot out from Li Mu's body and entered the Queen's body.
Li Mu's body and spirit were stretched to the limit. Without the support of the Queen's soul, he felt like the world was spinning, and he immediately fell down softly.
However, he did not fall to the ground, but fell into a body with a faint fragrance.
Zhou Wu picked up Li Mu, walked to the bed, put him down, and said, "You rest first, and leave the rest to me."
Li Mu was extremely exhausted and had no time to recall the soft princess hug just now. He closed his eyes and fell asleep in an instant.
Zhou Wu looked at Li Mu, who took off his shoes and placed them neatly beside the bed.
The quilt at the end of the bed also stretched out and covered Li Mu.
After doing all this, Zhou Wu's body disappeared into thin air.
The next moment, everyone in the Divine Capital saw a phantom rising rapidly from the palace and appearing in the sky.
As the shadow rose, it continued to grow in size, and soon reached a height of several hundred feet.
The phantom was wearing an imperial robe and an imperial crown, floating above the palace. Because it was too tall, its face could not be seen clearly. In the dark clouds, a second wave of calamity thunder had already condensed, pressing hard against the phantom.
Down.
The phantom just stretched out his finger, and those thunders immediately collapsed.
What also collapsed at the same time was the terrifying clouds in the sky.
With one finger, the sky clears up all the gods and they can see the light again.
Countless people in the city of God were deeply shocked by this scene. After reacting, they immediately fell to their knees and shouted loudly.
"It's Her Majesty the Queen!"
"Long live Her Majesty the Queen..."
…
The scene just now left an indelible memory in their hearts.
Countless officials in the court were unable to recover from the shock for a long time.
Although the Queen gave them the impression of being majestic and unapproachable, she rarely showed her strength in front of the courtiers, so much so that they almost forgot that she was a powerful person in the seventh realm.
The catastrophe that could destroy the entire city of God was shattered directly under her finger. How powerful is this?
At this moment, no matter whether they were officials of the new party or officials of the old party, under that upright figure, all they felt was surrender.
After dispelling the calamity cloud, the phantom quickly shrank and finally disappeared over the palace.
Changle Palace.
Li Mu didn't know how long he slept. When he woke up again, he saw the Queen standing in front of the window.
Zhou Wu looked at him and said calmly: "Open your mouth."
Li Mu opened her mouth, and a ray of light flashed from her hand. There was a round thing in Li Mu's mouth. It melted in an instant, and a pure medicinal power rushed towards his limbs and bones.
Most of the overdrawn mana in his body was restored in an instant. Li Mu sat up from the bed and asked, "Your Majesty, how long have you been sleeping?"
Zhou Wu said: "About one day and one night."
Including the time he spent sleeping, it was a little longer than he expected. Li Mu got off the bed and said, "I'm going home first..."
Zhou Wu said: "Your mind is seriously overdrawn, please rest for a while."
Li Mu shook his head and said, "No, I will go home and rest. If I don't go back, my wife will be worried."
Zhou Wu waved her hand and said: "Let's go, let's go..."
After her words fell, Li Mu felt his eyes blur, and the next moment, he appeared in his yard.
"Benefactor!"
"Master!"
Xiaobai and Wanwan were bored on the swing in the yard. When they saw Li Mu, they immediately ran over. Wanwan hugged Li Mu's arm and said, "If you don't come back, the lady will go to the palace to find you."
Already."
Li Mu smiled sheepishly at Liu Hanyan and Li Qing who came out of the room, and said, "I made you worry..."
Li Qing obviously breathed a sigh of relief. Liu Hanyan walked up to him and saw that his face was pale. He muttered in a low voice: "You are just a small official, not the prime minister, why are you working so hard..."
Li Mu held her hand and said: "If it weren't for Your Majesty, where would we be today? We wouldn't be able to overturn the verdict and avenge Mr. Li. Naturally, we must repay Your Majesty within our ability."
"But we can't be so desperate..." Liu Hanyan glanced at her accusingly and said, "Your Majesty doesn't know how to feel sorry for you. The holy talisman is so difficult. What if it hurts the foundation of cultivation..."
Li Mu smiled and said: "Your Majesty is very kind to me. Don't worry, I'm fine. I'll recover after a few days of rest..."
In Changle Palace, Zhou Wu showed an angry look on her face and gritted her teeth and said: "You are the only one who knows how distressed I am. It's great to be married..."
