"But it is not too late for Your Highness to start learning the mindset of an emperor and become a powerful emperor. Li Siyuan is a very good teaching tool."
"Li Siyuan is a sinister and cunning person. I know Your Highness doesn't like his character, but his brothers are all useful people. Your Highness can use some tricks to lure them and make Li Siyuan reveal his true nature."
"Then kill Li Siyuan and win back the hearts of the Thirteen Guardians. Your Highness, don't worry. I have already ordered people to deal with Li Keyong. Without him, the Thirteen Guardians will naturally have no way out."
Li Xingyun didn't like these things, but he was indeed smart and reacted immediately.
"Is Ding Shiman, who has just joined Tongwenguan, also a bad guy?"
Hu Xiuwu shook his head: "He is not, but he has something to ask of me. He hopes to see the peak of martial arts, and I satisfy him."
"But I don't..."
Before Li Xingyun could finish, Hu Xiuwu interrupted him and turned to Li Xiang and said:
"Your Highness Prince Qiong's move to seize the God of War's Strange Altar is indeed a good one. What's even better is that Your Highness took advantage of Chi Li, the Heavenly Star,'s ambition and his weakness of greed and recklessness to induce him to sacrifice himself to the insects so that he can compete with you for the command of the God of War."
Talking about the thing he was most proud of, Li Xiang took over the conversation and said complacently: "He didn't know that I had been waiting for him to take this step. He sacrificed himself to the Queen Insect, and lost all his five senses, martial arts, and only had a few witchcraft skills left, and his strength was greatly reduced."
"I have already learned most of Rao Jiang's Gu techniques, and have been waiting for this moment. After he succeeds in sacrificing the insect, I will take action when he is at his weakest. I will use the Soul-Bewitching Gu to confuse his mind and the Ten Thousand Spiders Gu to control his body."
"From then on, he became a living soldier in my hands. I relied on his corpse to control the Gu."
To control the God of War one-on-one, you can use the music of Raojiang Gushu, but to control a large number of God of War armies, you need to control the queen insect.
But to control the queen insect, one needs to sacrifice oneself, which is like being a living dead. How can one be a king? So Li Xiang kept provoking Chi Li, and finally made him lose his mind and take the risk.
Hu Xiuwu nodded: "Not bad."
Li Xiang said: "I would also like to thank the commander for sending the Han Dynasty's "The Book of the Warlords" and the snake-python jade coffin, which preserves the body of the Witch King and can be carried with him."
Hu Xiuwu scolded: "Do you think I am praising you?"
"Look at what you did after you got the Bingshen Strange Altar. You looked down on the world and became the public enemy of the world. You are trapped in Chu. The tiger in the cage is just a big cat, and the dragon in the shallow water is just a Jiao snake."
After scolding, Hu Xiuwu persuaded Li Xiang again: "You have to put away your arrogance, carefully select your enemies, and find your allies."
After this lecture, Li Xingyun and Li Xiang were so confused that they dared not speak. Hu Xiuwu, who led the way silently, did not want to appear so cold on the surface, but was very excited inside.
"It feels so good to be criticized and educated in such an open and aboveboard way, and he can't even talk back. It feels so good indeed."
Hu Xiuwu led Li Xingyun and Li Xiang to the palace gate, which was at least three stories high. He put away the smile behind his mask and said to the two groups of people who were behind him, who were clearly separated:
"You just wait here and are not allowed to enter!"
Those who had known the character of the Bad Leader for a long time were not surprised. King Qiong and his group nodded in agreement. Li Xingyun and his group, with Li Xingyun's secret nod, had to suppress their worries and wait outside the door.
The three-story high, thousand-pound stone door was easily pushed open by Hu Xiuwu.
The lamp inside the door ignited when the wind blew, and the entire underground palace was shining with golden light.
Inside Jumen is a spacious space that is no less spacious than the Taiji Palace. On the stone wall opposite the door is carved a five-clawed golden dragon as huge as the Leshan Giant Buddha.
There are eighteen lifelike cloud-patterned dragon pillars symmetrically arranged on both sides of the entrance. In the center of the underground palace is a high circular altar, and in the abyss under the altar is an ocean of countless gold, silver and jewels.
Gold nuggets and pearls are thrown around in a row.
When Li Xingyun saw the golden sea, the first thing he thought of was the "Fu on Afang Palace" that his tutor taught him when he was young.
"Everyone in the world believes that the Longquan Treasure contains countless treasures, peerless martial arts, and the appearance of Yin Soldiers. There are also rumors that Emperor Taizong signed a contract with the Emperor of Beiyin Fengdu to borrow the method of Yin Soldiers."
Hu Xiuwu walked in the middle of the wide road, slowly stepped onto the altar, stood in the middle of the altar, turned around and faced Li Xiang and Li Xingyun:
“Now I tell you, it’s true.”
"As long as you kill me, you will be rewarded by Lord Yin."
"!!!"
Li Xiang and Li Xingyun were both shocked.
Hu Xiuwu, contrary to his usual attitude, gently asked Li Xingyun: "Xingyun, what did Wen Tao see?"
Li Xingyun said in surprise: "Wen Tao told me that this is a very dangerous place. If it is a grave, the owner of the tomb and his descendants will suffer torture."
"Yes, although Wen Tao is a fence-sitter, he still has some knowledge."
"This is a bad place for Lian Zhen. Those buried here will have their souls sent to hell and it will be difficult to escape."
"And I am the number one villain on the Underworld list."
Hu Xiuwu opened his arms and embraced the heaven and earth: "I have lived for three hundred years, and have repeatedly pried into the secrets of heaven, defied yin and yang, and acted lawless. My name is already on the books of Yin Jun."
"As long as you send me to hell, you will be rewarded by Yin Jun."
"No, no! You are more powerful than thousands of troops. I want you to be alive. I want you to be alive and assist me! Li Xingyun, if you dare to do anything, I will kill you."
Li Xiang yelled at the Bad Leader, then immediately turned around and glared at Li Xingyun with murderous intent.
He could not accept this result. What he desired most was the recognition and closeness of the Bad Leader. After all the hard work of getting close to him, how could he watch the Bad Leader die?
Of course Li Xingyun would not take action, he is not that kind of person.
Hu Xiuwu said calmly: "It's too late. If you don't use the Ju Men position to open the Longquan treasure, this place has become the closest place to the underworld. The qi is connected to the underworld. I have become a sacrifice. And as the bloodline of the Li family, you will naturally be recognized as the host of the sacrifice."
The sound of iron chains rubbing against each other came from the abyss. In a trance, Li Xingyun and Li Xiang saw two shadows appear behind the Bad Leader.
The bull-headed one holds a fork, the horse-faced one holds a hook. The steel fork is around the neck, the iron hook is through the chest.
"what."
With a scream, Hu Xiuwu said weakly, "Seeing that the two princes have become successful, I have no more worries. Please, this old minister, do one last thing for your highness."
"One day, Tang flags will be planted all over the nine provinces. Your Highness, please light incense and let me know. I will be able to smile even in my grave."
After saying that, Hu Xiuwu's body became illusory. Li Xiang took a knife and was about to chop the ghost behind Hu Xiuwu, but he missed and Hu Xiuwu disappeared.
Rumble, as soon as the Bad Leader was taken away, the underground palace made a muffled sound, and stone chips and dust fell down.
Li Xingyun forcibly dragged the crying Li Xiang away from here.
······
After the underground palace was deserted,
Hu Xiuwu reappeared on the altar, ignoring the falling rocks, and lowered his head in thought.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, those two kids were fooled by you, Your Majesty?"
A beautiful lady with purple hair, red eyes, tall and charming figure, skin like a young lady in her twenties and the demeanor of a young woman who has experienced many battles, walked out from the secret passage of the hall.
Following behind him were a little loli with a cocky expression, a giant with green skin and a half-face fang mask, and the general whom he had just met a few days ago.
The four corpse ancestors of Xuanming Sect, the broken corpses of defeated generals and ministers, the boundless underworld sea of fireflies, the thousand-mile red land of welded demons, the blood-stained rivers and mountains of marquises and ministers, are all here.
After obtaining the secluded places of the four corpse ancestors from Hou Qing, Hu Xiuwu used his true identity to recruit them.
Others think that the four corpse ancestors have strange personalities, but Hu Xiuwu finds them friendly. According to the saying in his hometown, they are just four complete natures.
As for Quan Xing, I know them well. I have abducted the entire Quan Xing. So what if I abduct four more?
Moreover, Hu Xiuwu didn't even put in much effort. He just said that they could go to hell and enter the three thousand worlds, and these people all agreed.
Jiang Chen: The underworld? Then we can find more people to try out the Nine Nether Mysterious Heaven Divine Art. I will join them.
Ying Gou: You provide meals? You also provide food for us to eat. Great!
Hanba: Three thousand worlds? Wouldn’t it be easier to find a wife then?
Hou Qing: Enter the underworld, travel three thousand miles, it’s of high quality, I will participate.
The general admired the white and tender right hand he had taken from Yang Guifei and said, "Your Majesty, as you said, let us go to hell."
Although most of what Hu Xiuwu said just now was to deceive Li Xiang and Li Xingyun, the best deception comes from the truth.
The feng shui layout here does make the Longquan treasure closest to Luo Fengtian, but it is not close enough to be connected to Luo Fengtian.
To do this, Hu Xiuwu's help is needed.
This is indeed an altar, but the offerings are not Hu Xiuwu, but Li Xiang and Li Xingyun, the two princes who carry the fate of the Li Tang Dynasty.
Using the emperor's destiny as fire and Shinto faith as fuel, the power of humanity is drawn into Longquan.
Plus Hu Xiuwu's approach to God:
"Supreme Master, your spirit will live forever! Gods and ghosts are invisible, punish the heavens and destroy the earth! Hurry and obey the command!"
Seven Killing Orders of Gods and Ghosts, Earthly Evil Orders,
The point of a move that is close to being divine is not how powerful it is, but its incredible, god-like power to mediate the creation.
The power of the Earthly Evil Order was different from the past, and it could force the ethereal dragon vein qi to break through the sky and touch Luofengtian.
The roots of the Jianmu tree stretched out from Luofengtian, hooked onto the dragon vein and entangled tightly, like two dragons entwined. Luofengtian used the connection of Jianmu to swallow the hook and bait together like a whale taking a bite.
The world of bad people and the world of strange people are included in it.
The dragon vein comes out of heaven and earth, and Luofeng falls into bad conditions.
From then on, the world changed and the underworld came to earth.
Chapter 423 Withdrawal
When Luofeng was connected to the world, Hu Xiuwu stretched out his hand, and a green branch grew out of the void. It touched Hu Xiuwu's fingertips timidly and curiously like a newborn baby. After discovering the kind and familiar breath, it happily wrapped around his wrist, forming a floating platform and lifting Hu Xiuwu up.
Push him and welcome him back to his own land, his own throne.
Looking at this unprecedented scene, the four corpse ancestors who were excited, cheering and posing had their waists entangled by the branches of Jianmu, and then were dragged away roughly like sacks, with an attitude as if they were impatiently dragging away their four puppies from the yard.
The Longquan treasure collapsed and no one was left alive.
······
Thousands of miles away in Luoyang City, in the Luoyang branch of the Bad Guys, in a simple and elegant courtyard situated in a bustling environment, at the window of the second-floor brothel, a beautiful woman was dressing herself in front of a mirror.
Apply rice powder first to further whiten your skin tone and add the icing on the cake.
Pour rouge into your palm, mix it with your bare fingers, and apply it thinly on your cheeks, which makes you look like a beautiful jade flying in the sky, intoxicating you. The rouge-stained fingertips brush across your lips, which are bright red and tempting.
Then use a thin willow wood brush, dip it in makeup water mixed with black stone and water, and carefully draw the eyebrows.
Use rouge to put two dots on the dimples, which is called dotting dimples. Turn your head sideways and draw a red crescent-shaped decoration on the inside of your temple, which is like the scar imitation makeup that has suddenly become popular in modern times.
Finally, a gold foil flower ornament is pasted on the center of the eyebrows.
A beautiful girl in Tang suit with springy eyes, gorgeous makeup, and a charming look appeared in the mirror.
