According to the emperor's attendant, the emperor had been reading for about half an hour last night before he said he was tired and wanted to go to bed.

The emperor was less than 20 years old, and the queen mother did not want him to indulge in beauty. There were only two palace maids in the harem, and the emperor was not very interested. Young people were greedy for novelty. He was very interested in Princess Teruyue who was about to enter the palace, and even wanted to be incognito.

Before leaving the palace, he took a look at the princess's famous beauty, but was told to go to the Queen Mother and stopped her.

The emperor went to bed at about the same time as before, and the attendants didn't care. After serving the emperor, they waited outside, and there was no sound inside. Until the morning, when they went to wake up the emperor, they found that the emperor's face was as peaceful as a good dream, but nothing happened.

Can't wake up.

It had been a long time since morning. The Queen Mother originally wanted to find the imperial doctor to quickly diagnose the problem, but no improvement was achieved after all the efforts. So she called several masters and Song Nanyan to discuss a solution.

According to the schedule, the emperor should receive the Teruyuki delegation tomorrow.

Even if you excuse yourself from illness, you can't even ignore the courtiers. After a long time, everyone will definitely become suspicious. The Luo Kingdom is strong with a slight advantage in national power.

The nation is not good for the Luo Kingdom, and in the blink of an eye there will be another bloody storm sweeping the sky.

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother panicked and hurriedly stopped the imminent conflict between the four masters.

"Several real masters, now the emperor's strange disease is coming so fiercely that even the imperial doctors are helpless, but I am at a loss and can only rely on you!"

The Queen Mother still had to give her face. Several monks walked to the dragon bed to check on the emperor's condition, while she herself pulled Song Nanyan aside.

"Prime Minister Song, if you don't know this, what can you say?"

On the day when I took the concubine, I was confused enough to see my long-lost teacher in the bridal chamber. Suddenly, another shocking change occurred. An ordinary person would have been at a loss. But Song Nanyan was worthy of being the prime minister of the empire. When he arrived, he had already put him in the carriage.

After sorting through his thoughts, he lowered his voice when he heard the words: "For the current plan, we must first control the news within the imperial city. Those who know the truth will not leave the palace easily to prevent changes outside the palace."

The Queen Mother nodded. If they didn't deal with each other on weekdays, their current interests would be the same.

"What Prime Minister Song said is true. I will ask General Wei to immediately surround the imperial city..."

While the two of them were talking, several masters felt a little angry.

"The soul separation technique cannot be performed by those who are not close to you. All the people around you must be controlled and interrogated. No one can be spared. Only by finding the real culprit can we force him to hand over your remnant soul!"

Humans have three souls and seven souls. When the soul is separated, it does not mean that all three souls and seven souls are separated from the body. Generally, only the soul is separated from the body. The soul can only live attached to the human body. Only by recalling the three souls can a person return to normal.

Chang Ming recognized the speaker. His name was Xie Chunxi, the headmaster of Jinque Palace, and a famous master monk.

Ordinary people may feel that it is a great honor to guard the palace as the headmaster of a palace, but in the eyes of monks, it is a bit out of place. However, Jinque Palace is not the top sect in the Taoist sect. Since their first headmaster Bing Jie

, Jinque Palace has been getting worse and worse. Now, although it cannot be considered a third-rate sect, it cannot be compared with the sects of the same scale as Shenxiao Immortal Mansion.

"The art of soul-capturing at close range is only for people with ordinary cultivation. If you are a master, you don't need to get close. As long as the person's horoscope and close objects are used, you can capture the soul even if they are thousands of miles away.

, in my opinion, it doesn’t have to be so troublesome, we can just directly investigate the monks who have regular contact with Your Majesty!”

As soon as these words came out, it was obvious that he was going against Xie Chunxi.

Changming looked around and found that this person looked unfamiliar.

Just when Song Nanyan came back from the Queen Mother, when he heard Changming's inquiry, he whispered: "He is the head of the Zhenling Sect, Yue Chengbo."

While he was answering Chang Ming's question, he was thinking that his teacher didn't even recognize him as a master. He was afraid that his cultivation level was really not that good, so he regretted bringing him here rashly.

Changming was not impressed with the Zhenling Sect.

This was a small sect, almost submerged in the Jiji Sect, but when he and Yun Weisi looked back on the past on the other side of nothingness, they had met Nie Emei of the Zhenling Sect several times in Yuru Town.

According to time calculation, this Yue Chengbo should be Nie Emei's senior brother.

The other two are also easy to recognize. They must be Zen Master Ku He of Qingyun Temple mentioned by Song Nanyan, and Han Ye, the elder of Donghai Sect.

Yue Chengbo's words pointed the finger directly at Xie Chunxi, implying that he was the culprit who caused the emperor to leave his soul.

Xie Chunxi was furious: "Yue Chengbo, what do you mean by this!"

Yue Chengbo sneered: "What do I mean, you don't know? Who always comes up with some messy tricks to seduce Your Majesty? Your Majesty is young and energetic and doesn't know restraint. Is it possible that you don't know how to measure too?!"

"What is a mess of magic? Your Majesty is interested in Taoist magic, so I naturally want to demonstrate it. You are also a Taoist, so you said such a thing?" Xie Chunxi paused and chuckled, "Oh, I forgot, your town

Lingzong, who started out by using illusions to transform gods, is similar to a street performer. At best, he can only be regarded as an outsider, and he cannot enter the elegant hall at all!"

Han Ye smoothed things over and said: "Your Majesty is not awake yet, you two should put aside your prejudices for the time being. I will try to make you wake up first. If not, a few friends will take action."

After saying that, he made a hand seal with his hands, put his fingertips on the emperor's forehead, and poured his spiritual power into it.

This is a typical soul-searching technique. It can not only search for part of the emperor's memory before he fell into coma, but also find the wandering residual souls hidden around him that match this. Each sect has slightly different techniques, but they are generally the same.

But after a moment, he put down his hand, shook his head and laughed at himself: "I am not good at studying, it depends on how good I am."

Zen Master Kuhe said nothing, took a step forward, paused his Zen staff on the ground, put his hands together and recited the sutra silently.

As he chanted in a low voice, a layer of faint golden light appeared around the emperor. If you look closely, the golden light is actually composed of countless tiny scriptures.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother couldn't help but feel hopeful and stared closely at the emperor.

Qingyun Temple is famous, and among the four of them, Ku He is naturally the one who holds her greatest hope.

But it is a pity that this layer of golden light gradually faded after burning incense, and the emperor still showed no improvement.

Ku He recited the Buddha's name: "This poor monk is incompetent. If the head of the temple were here, there might be some way."

The head of the courtyard he mentioned was none other than Sun Buku, the headmaster of Qingyun Temple.

With Sun Buku's cultivation, the Queen Mother naturally has no doubts, but he is not in Luodu now, and the distant water cannot save the near fire.

Yue Chengbo and Xie Chunxi also tried in turn, but both failed.

"This soul-seeking technique is very weird. I don't think it is something that an ordinary sect can do. The other party must have imprisoned your majesty's remnant soul somewhere!"

Hearing Yue Chengbo's words, Kuhe nodded in agreement.

"Just now I searched the sea of ​​consciousness and found that the remaining emotions before he left his soul were not panic and fear, but peace, tranquility, and even a little happiness."

This is also Ku He's doubt. Before a person's soul is captured, he must be afraid, but the emperor is not only not afraid, but also very happy. This can only mean that the emperor has fallen into a dream before the soul was captured, and allowed the other party to

at the mercy of.

The emperor is not a monk. He is young and has weak willpower, so it is understandable that he would be taken advantage of. However, both the inside and outside of the imperial city are surrounded by three layers of barrier formations. It is difficult for ordinary monks to see, let alone penetrate, the opponent.

How did he break through the numerous sieges, enter an uninhabited land, and successfully defeat the emperor?

Unless, he was originally hidden in the imperial city.

The Queen Mother's self-maintained composure almost collapsed.

"So what should we do now?"

Yue Chengbo said: "If something happens to Your Majesty, someone should be the regent. If this matter gets out, Your Majesty's uncle, King Hui, will definitely attack. As far as I know, Master Xie has a good relationship with King Hui on weekdays."

Xie Chunxi's face elongated: "Prince Hui and I are only casual friends. Yue Chengbo, today you don't think about how to save Your Majesty. Instead, you keep targeting me. What are your intentions? Could it be that the evil person complained first, and you are the one?"

The most suspect person!"

"Since this friend is here, why hasn't he spoken?"

The two had an argument again, but Ku He looked to the other side and suddenly said.

What he is referring to is Changming.

Chang Ming, who had been keeping a low profile and silently standing in an inconspicuous corner, was noticed by Ku He.

After all, his cultivation level is slightly higher than that of the other three people. It can be seen that Chang Ming deliberately restrained his cultivation spiritual power, rather than ordinary people.

Song Nanyan felt more nervous than when he was called out.

Chang Ming smiled: "My cultivation level is low and not worth mentioning. You guys are here and I am all ears."

Although he said that he was all ears, his face clearly did not look like that of a low-level monk. Whether a person has extensive experience or knowledge cannot be disguised or deliberately hidden.

Xie Chunxi narrowed his eyes.

"I meet you, but I don't know what kind of expert you are?"

Chang Ming: "There is no sect or sect, just casual cultivators."

Xie Chunxi: "Even if you are a casual cultivator, you should still learn from me, right?"

Chang Ming: "My first teacher was an idle man in the mountains, but his name is unknown."

Xie Chunxi found this person more and more suspicious.

"Even idlers in the mountains always have teachers. If you don't go to the palace in the morning, you won't go in the palace in the evening. It just happened that something happened to Your Majesty, and you are here. How can it be such a coincidence in the world?"

"Thank you, Headmaster, this is my enlightenment teacher. We haven't seen each other for many years. He happened to come to the capital to visit me. I heard that something happened to Your Majesty, so I took the teacher with me to the palace to see if I could help."

Song Nanyan came forward to explain that he also felt that Xie Chunxi was too aggressive, but not only him, but also the Queen Mother was polite to the four people. Now that the emperor was in trouble, she couldn't offend him.

He secretly recorded this account and prepared to find an opportunity to settle it later.

"Teacher? I remember that Prime Minister Song's mentor was Qiu Bingkun from Liuyi Academy. Why did he become this person again? Could it be that Qiu Daru shaved off his beard and changed his appearance overnight?"

Xie Chunxi made it clear that she didn't believe him, and even reached out to test him.

From Song Nanyan's point of view, Xie obviously wanted to deflect the conflict between himself and Yue Chengbo, which was why he was having trouble with Chang Ming.

"Wait a minute!"

But the opponent's attack was so fast that he had no time to stop him.

Xie Chunxi turned a deaf ear and grabbed Chang Ming's shoulder, trying to find out his origin.
