Chapter 782: The Crowd Disperses and the Song Ends

Outside the Golden Palace of the Chengtian Mansion, the eunuchs loudly announced the cry in the palace and the news of the emperor's death. Outside, both the Imperial Guards and the maids and eunuchs knelt down towards the Golden Palace one after another.

But at this time, there was an old man and a Confucian scholar who seemed a little out of place. He walked leisurely to the front of the Golden Palace, looked at the chaos and crying people inside, and watched Zhuang Shengyi, who was already a little stunned, being escorted out by the Imperial Army.

But it seemed that both the surrounding imperial guards and the eunuchs outside turned a blind eye to the two of them. Well, it wasn't just two of them either. One of them had a small marten sitting on his shoulder.

When Hui Mian saw Zhuang Shengyi, he couldn't help but think of the alchemist who was full of whimsical ideas.

"Alas, Jiao was right. His disciples did not have enough character and spiritual roots. Passing down the alchemy book would lead to death. But he still passed it down later."

"Senior Hui, you can't say that. Later, he also made a breakthrough in his alchemy method. How could he not pass it on? This is their lineage's ambition to seek immortality!"

Shi Sheng said this. Although he came to Chengtian Mansion later than Qi Zhongbin, his understanding of the causes and consequences was not shallow. After speaking, he looked at Jindian and shook his head slightly.

"Speaking of it, Xiang Yi has indeed done a lot of ridiculous things, but in general, although he was not aggressive enough in the early years, there are some capable ministers, and he can barely maintain success. It can be regarded as a continuation of the prosperous age to a certain extent."

Qi Zhongbin also spoke.

"It's just that when I feel that my body is a little weak, Xiang Yi's lethargy becomes worse and worse every year, which also leads to chaos in the administration of Dayong officials."

Hui Mian couldn't help but interject.

"That is to say, Dayong has a strong foundation and the chaos in the world has not yet appeared. And Xiang Yi's death at this time can be considered a good thing for Dayong!"

Shi Sheng looked at Qi Zhongbin, thought for a moment and then added half-jokingly.

"His absurdity can be considered as a way for junior brother to end the entanglement in the Dayong Dynasty. The same is true for Ziwei Lingjun and other gods. Although he may not have wanted to, he is here!"

After Shi Sheng finished speaking, the three people present stopped talking.

A gloomy wind blew from the golden palace, and the wandering god slowly walked out of the palace with two groups of gloomy men, while the people around him who were either shocked or grieved also turned a blind eye.

No matter how mediocre Xiang Yi is, he is still the Dayong Emperor. If he dies, the Underworld will not treat him with caution, and the standards are still sufficient.

Of course, no matter how much you are an emperor, you are also an emperor in the world, not to mention that you are constantly overstretching your body when you are in a coma. Emperor Ziwei is weak, and the people in the underworld who have known about his files for a long time will not be polite to him and drag him with a soul-stirring rope. come out.

Qi Zhongbin and Shi Sheng were watching outside the Golden Palace. When Yinsi Youshen and Yinzai saw them, some were slightly shocked, but others like Youshen were not surprised.

The Yinsi team paused, and the leader Youshen stepped forward to salute.

"I have met the three immortal leaders. Do you have anything to say to Xiang Yi?"

Shi Sheng had nothing to say, so he looked at Qi Zhongbin beside him. The latter thought about it and shook his head, while Hui Mian on his shoulder even laughed out loud.

"Hey, who wants to talk to him? I just came to take a look. I didn't expect him to be in such a hurry. He will take the pill whenever he sees it."

In fact, when they saw the people from the Yinsi entering the palace with the people offering the pills, Qi Zhongbin and others knew that Xiang Yi's time had come, and his death was a little hasty, even a little ridiculous, but that was the fact.

"In this case, I won't disturb the Immortal Leaders and say goodbye first!"

You Shen saluted again, and after Qi Zhongbin and others returned the salute, they escorted Xiang Yi away with Yin Chao.

Xiang Yi, who was in the Yin Zai team, actually saw the location of Qi Zhongbin and others, but when he looked over, what he saw was somewhat different from what the Yin Zai Youshen saw.

In Xiang Yi's eyes, there seemed to be a vast expanse of white light, and there seemed to be two people standing in the halo, but they couldn't see clearly.

When You Shen was talking to the other person, Xiang Yi had been listening. He didn't understand until he heard the words "immortal chief", but before he could react, he was dragged away again.

Xiang Yi seemed to have most of his strength tied up under the soul hooking rope, but at this moment, he didn't know where he got the strength to struggle and cry out.

"Wait, wait - which kind of immortal is it? Is it because I took the pill to take me to immortality - the immortal chief -"

Youshen glanced back, and the man who was watching Xiang Yi gently tugged on the soul seduction rope. Xiang Yi suddenly lost his strength and could only groan and watch himself getting further and further away from the white light.

"You guys, let me go - let me go -"

"Xiang Yi, do you still think you are the emperor of the world? Go in peace."

——

While there was chaos in the palace, Chengtianfu City was still filled with festive joy. People might have talked more about the fireballs that had risen in the sky before, but most of them thought they were some new fireworks.

Gao Hongqing returned to Qingling Villa. Although the imperial guard guarding the gate was shocked when they discovered him, they did not stop him from entering the mansion.

When he saw the damaged alchemy furnace, Gao Hongqing felt like he had lost his soul and sat down on the ground in a daze.

Even if some disciples screamed in surprise when they discovered that their master was back, Gao Hongqing felt as if they were coming from outside the world, and he ignored the captain of the imperial army who came to inquire.

At this time, neither the Taoists nor the Imperial Guards in Qingling Villa knew that something big had happened in the palace.

Some time later, on the Central Street of Chengtian Mansion, an official from the direction of the Yamen of Chengtian Mansion rushed out. He found Xiao Yuzhi and several arrestees on the street, and whispered something in his ear, which made Xiao Yuzhi look shocked.

Then Xiao Yuzhi walked quickly in the direction where he had met Yu Ziye before, and quickly found the Yu family and his party.

Then the two officials stepped back and said something.

The streets were still noisy, but they could not drown out Xiao Yuzhi's voice transmission, so it reached Yu Ziye's ears clearly.

"Sir Yu, just at the Shangyuan Banquet in the Golden Palace, the emperor died because of taking the elixir."

Yu Ziye frowned slightly, and then his face quickly returned to calm. Although he had thought about this possibility a long time ago, he did not expect it to come so soon.

"Bang~" "Bang~" "Bang~".

Fireworks exploded in the sky again, causing the people on the street to rejoice. Yu Ziye looked up, and his face was also printed with color by the fire.

"Oh, I know, I'll go to the palace now!"

On this Shangyuan Festival in the 22nd year of Shao Yuan, Emperor Dayong died suddenly after Xiang Yi took the elixir at the Shangyuan Palace Banquet in the Golden Palace of the Imperial Palace, and he did not even have time to pass down his will.

Of course, the alchemist who killed the emperor must not escape responsibility, and the officials who offered the elixir together are also to blame. They are only temporarily imprisoned in Tianlao, waiting for the new emperor to ascend the throne before making a decision.

The emperor had no intention of giving up power before his death, so naturally he did not appoint a crown prince. This was another struggle for power, but the winner was decided in less than a month, and then the court put things right.

On the second day of February, the alchemist and some magicians who could not escape the crime were escorted to the central street of Chengtian Prefecture and executed in public. Among them were Zhuang Shengyi and the distraught Gao Hongqing.

During the period of evil laws and chaotic politics, some officials were also not spared. Most of the officials of the Sitianjian colluded with evil spirits, so naturally most of them were also beheaded. For example, the Minister of Rites and others who were later proved to have colluded with evil spirits could not escape death. On the contrary, Sima Xiao, the director of the Sitianjian, was exempted from the death penalty.

Of course, Lu Haixian, the author of "Four Seas and Mountains and Rivers", was also released.

In late February, when Sima Xiao and Lu Haixian walked out of the prison, they both felt as if they were in another world.

In the same few days, a court ship sailed to the section of the river a few miles outside Jinggang, and more than a dozen officials pushed down the things on the pulley.

"Plop--" With a loud noise, huge waves exploded on the river surface.

A broken alchemy furnace broke through the water surface and slowly sank to the bottom of Kaiyang River with a trace of residual heat.

"Boom."

The bottom of the water shook up a piece of mud, and the surrounding fish also fled away. Some patrolling river yakshas had already landed in front of the alchemy furnace.

Even though it had been sunk to the bottom of the river and was surrounded by cold river water, the alchemy furnace seemed to still have residual heat, so not long after, many fish also approached it.

Afterwards, there was another surge of water, and Xie Qing, the water god of Kaiyang, also arrived at the alchemy furnace.

"All living beings in the world are entangled in lust and desire. This is the end of the song of human separation."

Xie Qing slowly raised his head. The oars of the big ship on the river stirred the river water and slowly left.

The huge oars stirred the water of Kaiyang River from top to bottom, causing a twisting vortex, which gradually became gentle from strong to weak. Somewhere far away in the North Sea, there was also a similar vortex, but this vortex was from bottom to top and was becoming stronger and stronger.

"Gulululu. Gululululu"

Countless bubbles emerged from the depths of the ocean and rushed straight to the sea surface with the vortex.

"Boom--"

The sea surface exploded, causing huge waves, and a white light rose from it. During this process, the sea surface rolled violently, and the sky was covered with dark clouds in a short time.

"Boom boom" "Boom boom"

The thunder fell like rain, and finally hit the white light and formed a dragon shape, as if it was a huge white dragon, as if it was enjoying the friction of thunder, until it broke through the dark clouds and ascended to the sky

"Ang——"

A loud dragon roar seemed to spread all over the world!

In the North Sea Dragon Palace, Yaci, who was resting, opened his eyes at once, and some dragons and water creatures with higher Taoism also felt it.

Bai Jun's transformation into a dragon was successful!

But when many North Sea dragons followed the dragon roar to the sea area, Bai Jun was no longer there.
