Chapter 340: Yingling's Passionate Blood and the Case of Lost Eyes
There is a famous mountain northwest of Chang'an City, called Jiuying Mountain.
This mountain is situated in the north of Wei River, with its majestic presence covering Guanzhong. It has nine beams supporting it and one peak standing out alone. The Wei River winds in front of it and the Jing River meanders behind it. It can be said to be a famous mountain in the world with excellent feng shui.
But this mountain is not open to the public. There is even a large army stationed at the foot of the mountain because a mausoleum named Zhaoling is being built on the mountain.
Zhaoling is the mausoleum built by Li Shimin for himself. Emperors of all dynasties began preparing for the construction of their own mausoleums as soon as they ascended the throne, and Li Shimin was no exception.
However, few people know that next to Zhaoling, there is another cemetery called Yingling.
Wang Bo brought Li Daoxuan to Yingling Mausoleum . As soon as he entered, Li Daoxuan's pupils froze.
All I saw were densely packed tombstones arranged in rows, like a large army array, with flags covering the sky, making it impossible to see the end at a glance.
"All those buried here are the bad guys who died in battle. Your Majesty has granted permission for the bad guys to be buried in Yingling Mausoleum, sharing the feng shui of Zhaoling Mausoleum and bringing blessings to their descendants."
Li Daoxuan sighed in his heart, Li Shimin was indeed an emperor, with a broad mind and full of charisma.
Perhaps it is because of this that so many bad people are willing to work for him.
The two walked for a while and then stopped in front of a tombstone. It was the tomb of Wang Bo's master Lu Zitong. There were regular script and small seal script below it, introducing his life and achievements.
"Lu Zitong was born in the third year of Kaihuang. He was from Yingzhou and practiced the Way of the Immortal Horse. In the early years of Zhenguan, he joined the Bad People and served as the White Tiger Captain. He killed thirty-two demons. Later, in order to protect innocent children, he used his flesh and blood to resist the collapse of the Helan Mountains. He broke ninety-two bones and died of exhaustion."
…
Li Daoxuan was silent, as if he saw the old man transformed into a giant bear, standing in front of the children without hesitation, and withstanding the powerful landslide like a solid wall.
He bowed, feeling mixed emotions.
When they met that year, he didn't have much communication with the old man. He just felt that the other party had a generous personality and was very concerned about the development of the Chu Ma lineage, so he casually made a suggestion.
Who would have thought that the other party would lose his life.
"Your Majesty has been very good to our Chuma lineage. Not only did he confer titles on the great immortals we worship, he also selected many orphans with excellent qualifications and enrolled them in our Chuma lineage. In just two years, our sect has produced many talents."
Wang Bo took out a pot of wine from the storage tool and poured it in front of his master's grave.
"Master, Brother Li is here to see you."
"You often say that Brother Li is our benefactor, and we must repay his kindness in the future. Don't worry, I will repay Brother Li even if I risk my life!"
Li Daoxuan patted his shoulder and sighed, "I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me. Brother Wang, if I meet Misaluo one day, I will definitely not let him go."
Wang Bo was moved. Without saying a word, he bowed to Li Daoxuan.
Given Li Daoxuan's current identity and status, his promise is of immeasurable value.
Li Daoxuan looked at the tombstones nearby and found that some of them had not even found the bones, only the clothes were buried.
These people, like Lou Xiaoyun, hold on to some lofty ideal, hoping that the people of this world can be free from the suffering of demons, and for this they are willing to sacrifice their lives and shed their blood.
Li Daoxuan was deeply moved. Although he had gradually adapted to the life of cultivation and pursued immortality, his experiences in his past life were still engraved in his heart, becoming a color that would never fade.
The biggest demon in the world today is probably the Moro Cult. Ordinary demons can only harm ten or a hundred people, but the Moro Cult plans catastrophes!
Thinking of this, Li Daoxuan said to Wang Bo: "Brother Wang, has anything strange happened in the capital recently?"
Chang'an City is too big, and looking for the Moro Sect without any clues is undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack. Wang Bo is now the White Tiger Captain among the Bad Men, responsible for patrolling Chang'an. He is in a high position and has great power. Perhaps he can have some clues.
"Strange things..."
Wang Bo thought carefully for a moment and said, "Chang'an City is protected by dragon energy, so generally no demons dare to cause trouble. However, there is indeed a very strange case recently, but I'm not sure whether it was done by a demon."
"What case?"
Li Daoxuan asked.
Wang Bo did not hide anything and said, "In the past few months, there have been four cases of missing persons in Chang'an City."
Missing Eye Case...
Li Daoxuan's eyes flashed, and he didn't know what he was thinking of.
"The victims' eyes were gouged out. This happened four times in three months. And according to investigation, the people whose eyes were gouged out were all born with spiritual eyes and could see ghosts and gods!"
Li Daoxuan immediately realized something was wrong. It would be fine if just ordinary people had their eyes gouged out, but these four people were all born with the ability to see with the Yin-Yang ability.
This is very strange.
The most important thing was that he remembered the dead Blind Lin, who had his divine eyes dug out in the past. Later, he was given a pair of divine eyes of the Yang God Realm by a man wearing a black cloak and with scars on his face. He came to Longhu Mountain to test him.
Both of them had their eyes gouged out, and Li Daoxuan felt that these two incidents might be related.
Perhaps, this missing eye case is an important clue. The murderer is most likely the scarred man who gave Blind Lin the divine eye, and that man may be from the Moro religion!
"Brother Wang, if you have any clues about this case, please inform me as soon as possible."
Li Daoxuan instructed.
"Don't worry, leave it to me!"
Wang Bo patted his chest, very generous. Not to mention that His Majesty had asked him to obey Li Daoxuan's orders, even without His Majesty's order, he was willing to help Li Daoxuan.
Li Daoxuan looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late, Brother Wang, I'll go back to my residence first."
Unexpectedly, Wang Bo held him and refused to let him go.
"Brother, since you are in Chang'an, I will naturally do my best to be a good host. Let's go to Pingkangfang. Brother, I will welcome you!"
Li Daoxuan coughed and looked embarrassed.
Pingkangfang is the most famous place of entertainment in Chang'an City, a well-known den of brothel. A table of wine and wine would cost at least 1,600 coins. If it was a stranger like Li Daoxuan, the price would have to be doubled.
In addition, a round of drinking costs 1,200 coins, and double the price must be paid after the first set of candles burns out. If you want to listen to music, you have to pay extra silver to the musicians.
Of course, for Li Daoxuan, money is not a difficult problem, but the problem is that he is a cultivator and should be pure-hearted and free from desires. How can he go in and out of places of entertainment at will? Wouldn't that bring discredit to Longhu Mountain?
He would never do such a thing!
A moment later.
Li Daoxuan changed his clothes and wore a gorgeous brocade robe, a silver crown on his head, a jade fan in his hand, and cloud boots on his feet. He looked like a handsome young man in fine clothes and riding a horse. He and Wang Bo came to the gate of Pingkangfang.
"Brother Wang, we have agreed that this is just a welcome party."
"Haha, don't worry, Brother Li. We're just here to listen to the music, not to stay overnight. Even if you want to stay overnight, I can't afford it with my salary!"
