Chapter 337: Seeing Concubine Yang's white snake move strangely, she used magic to turn death into life
Led by the eunuch, Li Daoxuan walked in the majestic and magnificent Taiji Palace.
The buildings here are magnificent, with pavilions neatly arranged like stars in a net, but they do not give people a feeling of clutter at all, but appear very neat instead.
After passing through Chengtian Gate, Taiji Gate, Liangyi Gate and Ganlu Gate, Li Daoxuan finally arrived outside the Ganlu Palace. It took him a full quarter of an hour to walk there.
However, he was not impatient at all. Instead, he seemed calm and leisurely, looking around the palace.
The real imperial palace was even more strict than the one on TV. The eunuchs and palace maids who came and went walked slowly with their heads down, and they dared not whisper.
Suddenly, the eunuchs leading the way knelt on both sides of the road, and the leader signaled Li Daoxuan to kneel down as well.
Li Daoxuan naturally ignored it. He was a Taoist who aspired to live forever. He only respected but did not fear the secular imperial power, so he just bowed his head.
A fragrant breeze blew by.
The sedan chair passed by slowly, and when it passed by Li Daoxuan, a light exclamation was heard.
Li Daoxuan raised his head and met the eyes of the woman on the sedan chair.
Those were a pair of charming and attractive peach blossom eyes with a teardrop mole at the corner, making them look affectionate and graceful.
She wore a gorgeous hairpin and jade hairpin on her head, a red palace dress, and was heavily made-up, yet charming and not vulgar. At this moment, she was leaning lazily on the sedan chair, looking at Li Daoxuan with interest.
The look in his eyes seemed to be saying, what a handsome little Taoist priest.
But she just took a glance, then looked away and continued to walk towards the direction of Ganlu Palace.
Li Daoxuan frowned slightly, because just as the woman passed by him, the white snake in his sleeve suddenly moved, as if reminding him that there was something strange about this woman.
The little white snake had been quiet ever since it entered the palace, perhaps because it was frightened by the dragon's aura. But now it suddenly gave an alert, which was very abnormal.
But the problem was that Li Daoxuan had a green dragon tattoo on his body. If an evil spirit approached, the tattoo would become hot. But at this moment it was very quiet and there was nothing unusual.
Gazing at the woman's receding figure, Li Daoxuan quietly opened his third eye.
The palace is a sensitive area, and the Heavenly Eye is severely restricted. But at such a close distance, if it is a monster, it will surely not escape his eyes.
But to his disappointment, under the eyes of God, this woman was nothing unusual, just an ordinary person.
"Master Li, let's go!"
The eunuch reminded.
Li Daoxuan nodded, and then asked: "Who was that person who just passed by? I saw that he was filled with purple energy, which was indescribably precious."
The eunuch whispered, "Master Li, that is Concubine Yang, one of the four concubines. She is His Majesty's most beloved concubine besides the Empress!"
Li Daoxuan's eyes moved, it turned out that she was Concubine Yang!
Concubine Yang was the daughter of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty. After the fall of the Sui Dynasty, she became the daughter of a fallen nation and was abducted by Yu Wenzhi. After many twists and turns, she returned to Chang'an and married Li Yuanji, the younger brother of Li Shimin.
Later, Li Shimin launched the Xuanwu Gate Incident and killed Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji. Not only did Concubine Yang not remain faithful to her husband, but she often entered the palace by taking advantage of her friendship with Empress Zhangsun.
As a result, she hooked up with Li Shimin and turned from a widowed princess into the noble Concubine Yang.
Li Daoxuan shook his head and smiled. It was rumored in the outside world that Concubine Yang was born with a charming body and could seduce her master. Now it seems that this statement is indeed true. Of course, Li Shimin was not fair .
You killed someone and then married his wife. If people who didn’t know you knew you, they would think you were Cao Cao.
…
When he arrived outside the Ganlu Palace, Li Daoxuan had already put what had just happened behind him.
Even his divine eyes couldn't see any clues. The unusual movement of the little white snake might just be a coincidence.
After entering the hall, Li Daoxuan finally met the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who was also known as the Khan of later generations, Li Shimin!
I saw a young and heroic emperor sitting on the dragon throne . His eyebrows were like swords, his eyes were bright, and there was an indescribable majesty in his every move. He was drinking a bowl of porridge.
When he saw Li Daoxuan coming in, his eyes lit up and he immediately put down the soup spoon.
"I am Taichong, and I am here to meet your Majesty!"
Li Daoxuan bowed and saluted. Even in front of the emperor, he did not kneel down, but his expression was humble, without a trace of arrogance.
Li Shimin didn't mind. In fact, he was well aware of the pride of these cultivators. The more advanced the cultivator was, the more conceited they were. They looked down on princes and nobles and were insolent towards the powerful. In comparison, Li Daoxuan's performance was already very good.
According to the information he had found, although Li Daoxuan was only in the middle stage of Yin Shen, he was extremely good at fighting, and had almost no rivals under Yang Shen!
It is rare for such a person, who has the ambition to become an immortal and wishes to live forever, to be so humble.
Li Shimin laughed out loud and said, "Seeing is believing. Taichong, you are finally here. Come on, please take a seat!"
Immediately, a eunuch brought a chair.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Daoxuan bowed and then sat down. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Li Shimin's voice again.
"This lotus seed soup was specially prepared for me by Concubine Yang. You don't know that she is an excellent cook. Even the chefs in the imperial kitchen can't compare to her. Gao Quan, bring another set of bowls and chopsticks. Taichong has come from afar and must be hungry. I will dine with him."
The chief eunuch Gao Quan immediately took a new set of bowls and chopsticks and served Li Daoxuan a bowl of lotus seed soup.
Li Daoxuan was slightly startled, remembering that there was a palace maid carrying a food box in Concubine Yang's team just now. Now it seems that the other party came here just to deliver porridge.
He knew that the emperor was trying to win him over, so he bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Daoxuan took a sip of the porridge and it was indeed fragrant and had no bitterness from lotus seeds. It was very memorable. But for some reason, thinking of the little white snake's strange behavior at that time, Li Daoxuan became more cautious and put it down after just one sip.
At this time, a eunuch came forward holding the dead hawk in his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the imperial physician said... it cannot be saved."
Li Shimin sighed softly, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I'll choose another gift for Changle, take it down and bury it."
"promise."
Just as the eunuch was about to leave, Li Daoxuan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this bird looks like it died not long ago?"
Li Shimin was slightly stunned and said, "Yes, probably only two quarters of an hour."
"Harrier hawks are rare and precious. God is merciful. Since Your Majesty has invited me to drink porridge, I will also give Your Majesty a gift."
Li Daoxuan smiled faintly, then pinched the Yi Wood Seal in his hand and activated his wood element magical power.
The next moment, the essence of plants and trees between heaven and earth quickly condensed at his fingertips, emitting green light, flawless and full of vitality, like liquid jade, pouring into the body of the harrier that had died not long ago.
Li Shimin was shocked. He had guessed what Li Daoxuan was going to do. He stared at the harrier hawk closely.
Within three breaths, the harrier's body began to tremble slightly. After five breaths, it flapped its wings and flew in the hall.
Li Shimin's pupils narrowed.
Li Daoxuan whistled and communicated with the kite using the Bai Ze Mantra. Soon the little kite became completely convinced of him and landed on his fingertips, being extremely obedient.
The eunuchs around couldn't believe their eyes. The harrier was clearly dead, and even the imperial physician had said there was no way to save it, but now it was alive and well!
Could that handsome Taoist be an immortal?
"Great, what a great way to bring the dead back to life!"
Li Shimin clapped his hands and exclaimed.
