Chapter 22
(one)
Li Bai was secretly shocked. He was only guided by Liu Bang to come and take the sword, but there was such a coincidence. But in the end, he was not rewarded without any merit. It was okay to have an ordinary sword. This "crying blood" came so hard that even the First Emperor did not force him. Moreover, the general raised him for at least a few hundred years, and he was also confused at this time.
The Gan General waved to Li Bai, turned around and walked towards the open space, and Li Bai followed him.
There were several stone gates behind the open space, and the Ganjiang walked straight to another larger space before stopping.
When Li Bai stepped into it, he saw a stone chamber and felt the chill in the stone chamber. There was a raised mound in the center of the stone chamber, which was more than twenty steps in the radius. The mound was filled with various swords. Under the lights, the bone-bone-black cold light was reflected. This strange scene was really terrifying.
When Li Bai approached the mound, murderous aura emanated from the center of the mound. After a sound of iron and iron, each sword on the mound vibrated irregularly and buzzed, even the stone chamber was slightly vibrating, and the murderous aura in the mound was even stronger. He unconsciously took a few steps back.
The swords on the mound were as numerous as cow's hair. Suddenly, blood oozed out of each handle, and the mound was dyed like a blood-soaked steamed bun. The blood suddenly flowed backwards to the center of the mound. A gap was cracked in the center, and a red sword rose from the crack.
Accompanied by a sound of ghosts and wolves, the sword sucked the blood from the mound, and a bright red light reached the top of the stone chamber, as if it was completely in the sky.

A strange light suddenly flashed in Gan Jiang's eyes, and his voice trembled, "The blood-crying is finally coming out!"
There was a faint sound of thunder in the stone chamber, and there seemed to be thousands of red lights flashing. The red blood that was full of red blood gathered in one place and flew towards Li Bai, and it seemed to be spiritual, with the hilt facing Li Bai.
Li Bai received the tears, and the strange phenomenon suddenly stopped in the stone chamber, and the sword on the mound stopped shaking, and the room was as quiet as midnight.
The Blood-Crying Sword was integrated with the young Li Bai in white clothes and white hair.
Seeing this, the general suddenly felt like he had taken off his burden and collapsed on the ground.
Li Bai hid his sword behind his sleeve, hurried forward to assist the general and said, "Senior..."
Gan Jiang's face was dull, but he still smiled and said, "Don't worry, this crying blood is the spiritual support for me for so many years, but now that it has found its master, I should be happy..."
Li Bai frowned and said, "This sword embodies the efforts of the two seniors Gan Jiang Moye. It is of great significance to the seniors. I really dare not accept it..."
As he said that, he gave the tears and blood to Gan Jiang with both hands.
The Gan Jiang held up his body and rubbed the woman in his arms. He shed tears, tenderness as if he was like water. He lowered his head and said to himself, as if he was saying to Li Bai: "It is the lifelong wish of our two of us who have found the master who is crying. Now it has finally been fulfilled..."
His eyes flashed again, and he looked up and said to Li Bai, "Besides, I know that in the chaotic world, strange phenomena occur frequently. Mr. Li still needs to use the power of crying blood to sweep away the demons and return peace on earth. This is also our wish."
Then he said, "You go first, I'm tired and need a good rest."

After saying that, the man put the woman in his arms beside him and lay on the ground on his back.
Li Bai bowed a few times to Gan Jiang and said, "I will do my best to live up to the expectations of the two seniors!"
Gan Jiang waved his hand, but he didn't look at Li Bai, but still looked at Mo Ye beside him gently. Li Bai then left the stone chamber and thought: Mo Ye didn't know whether it was death or life, but he had to be unconscious for so many years, but Gan Jiang wanted to take care of her feelings everywhere. If it weren't for so many changes, the two would have been enviable fairy couples.
After leaving a few stone gates, Li Bai walked a few more steps out of the cemetery. Only then did he feel at ease. He bowed to Gan Jiang Moye for a few more times before getting up and leaving.
It was almost dawn, and Li Bai found his horse and headed towards Chang'an City. Wu Zetian's edict had been issued for several days, and he dared not delay any further.
When you arrive at the gate of Chang'an City, it is already dawn and the city gate is open. There are long queues at the gate. You can only release it by checking through layers of checkpoints.
Li Bai got off the horse and walked slowly with the crowd. Soon after, he reached the first checkpoint.
The guards were also surprised to see Li Bai holding a bright red sword. Li Bai took out an imperial edict from his arms. The guards, who had a slightly higher grade, recognized it and hurriedly knelt down to answer. After confirming that it was correct, they ordered the two guards to lead Li Bai into the palace.
When he entered Chang'an City and walked on Zhuque Street, Li Bai saw the crowds of people and the shouts of hawking were endless, which was a little more lively than Luoyang.
Li Bai asked the guards to lead him to a blacksmith shop, bought a suitable scabbard, and hid the crying blood in the scabbard, and then the guards led him into the palace.

Chang'an is worthy of being the capital of several dynasties. The buildings in the palace are magnificent, intriguing, versatile, unique and ingenious, flying pavilions, or painted buildings, towering into the clouds.
Wu Zetian should have ordered the guards in the palace, so Li Bai and the two guards were unobstructed. After passing Xuanwu Gate, the two guards retreated and led them to the Daming Palace by a team of Qianniu Guards.
Wu Zetian was still in a side hall and met Li Bai and finished the ceremony of the king and his subjects. Wu Zetian said, "I heard that General Li went to the Western Regions for many difficulties and dangers, which made my beloved suffer."
Li Bai replied: "It's all the matters of the minister."
He then reported the experience to Wu Zetian. As for Da Qiao, Meng Qi and others, they all said one thing, but they did not mention anything when they met a general.
After Li Bai finished speaking, Wu Zetian asked, "In this way, the people in the 'areless world' are originally numerous, and those 'areless ghosts' can also be dispatched by them. However, they are a large force and should not be underestimated."
He continued: "I have gained a lot from my trip to the Western Regions, but I still can't find the place where those people gather, which makes me uneasy."
Li Bai hurriedly saluted and said, "I cannot relieve Your Majesty's worries, and I deserve to die."

Wu Zetian waved his hand and said, "Li Aiqing did his best everywhere, and was in trouble several times, and he died for a lifetime. I am grateful, but I am too kind to make these thieves so rampant!"
Before Li Bai could speak, Wu Zetian received: "Now, we are passive everywhere. It is time to take the initiative to attack and eliminate the decline!"
Wu Zetian said again: "Did Li Aiqing remember that Duke Di once said that there was a mysterious organization in the other world. The leader was not known as the name, but only called "that person"?"
Li Bai didn't understand the truth and nodded to say yes.
Wu Zetian continued: "And that person is keen on immortality, so he guessed that the person may be Ying Zheng. Now Ying Zheng is buried in Xianyang, less than fifty miles from Chang'an. In order to find out the true image, I have to leave!"
Li Bai knelt down and said, "Your Majesty's body of thousands of gold, don't be in danger. I will wait for me to investigate the truth and report it again!"
Wu Zetian raised his phoenix eyes and said, "This matter should not alarm others, so as not to spread to the people. If you and Gongsun Li protect him, I will be free of worries."
Li Bai was about to submit a memorial again, and Wu Zetian waved his hand and said, "I have decided my intentions. I don't need to say much. I will rest early. At the beginning of the day, I will leave the palace in vain!"

Seeing this, Li Bai had to retreat. Wu Zetian ordered the eunuch to lead Li Bai to rest until noon, and another eunuch came to search. Wu Zetian prepared a carriage and horse and left Chang'an City from the imperial hall in the back hall.
Although Wu Zetian changed into casual clothes, she could not hide her graceful appearance. There was also the beauty Gongsun Li who had nothing to say along the way, but the fragrance in the car was so fragrant that she looked less lonely.
Li Bai secretly thanked that since his birth, he had encountered so many strange women, all of whom were extremely charming. If the elegant and luxurious Wu Zetian was comparable to the peony of the king of flowers, and compared Yang Yuhuan as peony, it was comparable to that peony. Gongsun Li was the orchid of the gentleman in flowers, Yu Ji was the fairy fairy fairy, and Da Qiao even compared it with the lotus that came out of water, and they all felt that it was much inferior.
After two or three hours of walking, the carriage was gradually slanting, and the carriage suddenly stopped. The three got off the carriage. Li Bai found that another carriage was waiting. An elderly man got off the carriage. Gongsun Li went up to whisper to the old man. The old man did not bow to Wu Zetian and led the three men to a mountain.
