In the feudal era, the funeral pomp of the emperor and queen was the same as when they were alive, showing their supreme dignity and luxury everywhere, and they were extremely arrogant and extravagant.

In the Tang Dynasty, the emperor's funeral was as important as his enthronement, wedding, and birthday, and should have been handled by the Ministry of Rites, Luan Yiwei, and the Department of Internal Affairs, even if countless amounts of money were spent.

But before Li Xian was on the throne in front of the coffin, the empress of Wu had to preside over it in time.

She stretched out her hand and pointed to a person: "Set up all the books and drivers." Choose a good day to enter the funeral, after the burial, the Emperor of the Emperor's Azusa Palace is placed in the Taiji Palace Taiji Hall. The king, the prince, the grandson, the princess, the princess and other high-ranking nobles went home to fast, and the ministers and officials of the various ministries and institutes of the imperial court were to go to the yamen's dormitory to stay and fast in a group, and were not allowed to go home. As for the idle officials, they gathered at the gate of heaven to fast and stay. ”

When the man led the way to leave, the Empress Wu recruited the previous person:

"After the expiration of the fasting period, civil and military officials below the king are not allowed to have fun, and it is forbidden to marry in mourning clothes. The soldiers and civilians in the two capitals were not allowed to take off their crowns and wear vegetarian clothes for 27 days, and they were not allowed to marry for one month, they were not allowed to have fun for 100 days, they were not allowed to slaughter for 49 days, and they were not allowed to pray or make sacrifices for 27 days. Before the service is removed, the document ticket is intended to be printed with a blue pen, and the document is printed with blue ink. Since the day of the great funeral, the bells of each temple and temple have been sounded 30,000 times. The next day, a ceremony will be held in front of the Xuanzheng Hall......"

At this time, Li Zhi had already withdrawn, and the emperor's body needed to be buried at an auspicious time, and after the burial, ritual and condolence activities would be held continuously.

It takes seven days to enter the funeral mausoleum, because the content of Gaozong's edict was originally prepared after he discussed with Empress Wu before his death: "Seven days are in the coffin, and the crown prince is the emperor in front of the coffin." The garden system is to be frugal. If there is a person who cannot make a decision on military affairs, please ask the queen of heaven to deal with the decision. ”

Immediately after the bell rang in the six palaces, it was used to send condolences, and the princes, princesses, concubines and other people had to come to mourn, which was a necessary etiquette, and the crying on the scene shook the sky.

"The emperor died?" Scattered in the Zhenguan Hall and among the hundreds of officials inside and outside the palace, I don't know who spoke first, and then knelt on the ground with a brush, regardless of true feelings or false intentions, they all cried loudly.

The group of Praetorian Guards outside the Zhenguan Hall had already lifted their halberds and stood on both sides, their expressions of surprise and panic in addition to sadness, which made their nerves tense, as if someone would directly kill him as soon as they moved.

At this time, within a radius of more than ten miles, the civil and military officials fell off the carriage and horses when they heard the sound, or on the side of the road, or on the road by themselves, crying for a while.

Those who are present in the palace are not allowed to cry from time to time, and they bring medical officers and tricksters to run around inside and outside the palace, and these people on duty from the Ministry of Rites, Luan Honor Guards and the Department of Internal Affairs are busy until their legs are weak.

In the ancient feudal society, the emperor and queen lived a luxurious and abnormal life when they were alive, and they wanted to continue this life after death, so they regarded everything after death as if they were alive.

For example, during their lifetimes, they generally had to build their own mausoleums, etc., in order to show their supreme luxury and dignity.

The emperor spent a lot of money from his death to his burial, for example, the funeral of the Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty took nearly a year, and more than 1.2 million taels of silver were used, which is not counting the various jewelry treasures that accompanied the funeral, which shows that the royal funeral in the feudal society was extremely arrogant and extravagant.

But all this is obviously not Li Zhi's concern, he returned to Gaozong's side again, there was a kind of vicissitudes on his face, tears were added to his heart, and his seemingly numb expression was hiding the gloomy sadness of the soul in his body.

At this time, no one paid attention to this royal family surnamed Li, and he had never mixed in with the group of imperial relatives who knelt on the ground, so he just stood in place in a daze, mechanically combing the true yuan in his body over and over again

, Gaozong's body that has been replaced with a dragon robe and crown suit.

He subconsciously thought that in this way, Gaozong could drive the crane to the west with a pure body, do his best, obey the mandate of heaven, and everything would have a beginning and an end after all.

In his heart, it was not only an elder who passed away at this time, but also a relative who was not related by blood, and he could no longer hear the admonition of being ordered to be in danger, and he could no longer see the kind figure.

Until Li Zhi's whole body was consumed unconsciously, a mouthful of blood was blurted out, and blood stained the spiritual hall!

It had been five days since he woke up, and when he opened his eyes, there were eyes full of concern, and Princess Taiping, who was dressed in a cloth and linen, leaned far on the threshold of the entrance, and in the surprised calls of the ladies, she also had a hint of a smile that disappeared into the crowd outside.

Li Zhi clearly knew what state he was, and looking at his relatives who were also wearing filial piety clothes, he grinned and smiled: "I'm just running out of energy in my body, and I can recover in a few weeks!" ”

Qing Qi pretended to be vicious and said: "Where is it so simple, Uncle Yang took you back, according to him, the depletion of the true yuan in your body is only a symptom, and the reflux of qi and blood caused by excessive grief is fatal!" It's been a long time since the emperor's death was over, and I never thought that you would have such a situation! ”

She looked around and saw that there were no outsiders, so she continued in a low voice: "The crown prince and the prince don't see you being so overly sad, do you know that your cultivation may also fall by at least one rank because of this?" ”

Li Zhi shook his head and smiled bitterly, but he didn't refute it, just because he could recall it, and he had always guessed for himself that the wisp of energy in his body seemed to come from an ancestor of a royal family surnamed Li.

Just after Gaozong's death, that kind of extraordinary sadness was irrepressibly hit in my heart, and when I thought about it, I vaguely felt that something had happened, but it was not easy to explain it out loud, so I could only smile bitterly frequently, and let the ladies take turns to blame.

In the end, it was Yang Gaotang who stopped the tearful ladies and said to make room for them to replenish their strength as soon as possible, which drove everyone out of the room.

The crown prince came to Li Zhi's bed and said solemnly: "Text, Mrs. Qingqi is not alarmist, even if you can recover in a short time, your own realm will at least have a drop of one rank, although it may only be temporary!" Tell me, what happened? ”

Li Zhi honestly slowly said his previous guess, Yang Gaotang's expression changed several times, and finally calmed down:

"Even though it sounds strange to me, I still choose to trust you! It seems that that wisp of energy really comes from an extraordinary background, and it has a deep relationship with the royal family surnamed Li! But I would never think that it was left by either Gaozu or Taizong, but I can also determine that I can't feel the three generations of Gaozong, so who will it be? ”

Li Zhi sighed: "I don't think there is any need to dwell on this, if you can get it, there will always be a day!" At the moment, I need to recover as soon as possible, I have been in a coma for these days, and I have missed seven days? ”

Yang Gaotang shook his head: "Today is the fourth day, do you need to enter the Chaoyuan Secret Realm?" Do you want to summon a few people with you? ”

Li Zhi also shook his head, "I'll go alone, and try to come back before dark!" ”

He was worried about the decline of the realm in his heart, and struggled to get up and cross his knees, only one week recovered half of the world, and he also needed the true yuan to enter the secret realm, and this little bit of cultivation was enough.

In the realm of Chaoyuan Secret, he staggered to the side of the Great Dao Stone, and simply exchanged a few words with the old dragon, and then entered the state of unity between heaven and man.

Because they could feel the urgency of his cultivation, the Fire Qilin and the four little ones did not come forward to disturb them.

Despite the spirit here

The qi was extremely sufficient, Li Zhi still took a Yuan Qi Pill first, and after only a while, he felt that in the dantian, an incomparably thick and pure energy surged out, constantly surging towards his limbs and hundreds of bones, and then transformed into incomparably pure and pure true qi.

There is constantly the spiritual energy of heaven and earth pouring into the meridians of his body, and then quickly converging in the dantian, and the speed of the process is unimaginably fast.

The earth-attribute energy that rushed out from the second dantian was also rushing out strongly to help each other uninterruptedly; , as well as the energy from the qi and blood, also constantly fill the lack of meridian true elements, these layers of help are strong, so that the aura between heaven and earth, like a wave, surging wave after wave.

The meridians around the body are running smoothly, and the dantian is even more like a tide, and the energy in Li Zhi's body is naturally in the process of rapid recovery.

The realm aura on his body is also rising rapidly, and the meridians in his body are like small blood vessels, in which the true yuan flows slowly, like a river, but in the process of circulation, it is filled with each time, and then compressed, and then it will be divided into two dantians.

And after the compressed true yuan filled the two dantians, it operated in circles in the body, and with each operation, the original atrophied meridians grew by one point.

The aura of heaven and earth in the outside world is inhaled into the body along the surrounding of the body, and when it enters the meridians, it will be assimilated into a thin droplet of water, which will be integrated into the original true element, and the true yuan will grow by a point, and the meridians in the body will be enriched by a little.

This time, the true element in his body was depleted, and he didn't fall into a coma, but because his mood was inexplicably affected, his heart blood was overly stagnant.

Fortunately, there was a mouthful of blood spurting out in advance, otherwise the nerve meridians caused by the psychosomatic disorder like a mad demon would be damaged, and the subsequent reverse flow of qi and blood, if there was no outlet, it would be serious and the mind would be damaged.

Fortunately, the wisp of energy in the body finally played a protective role, and at the moment when the mind was impacted, a mouthful of blood spurted out.

The so-called success is also Xiao He, defeat is also Xiao He, all the instantaneous changes come from that wisp of inexplicable energy.

Obviously, this self-conscious energy, which is quite spiritual, finally discovered the extreme danger it brings, so at this moment, Baiduan became active, and he was very active in filling Li Zhi's body energy.

With its help or timely correction, the internal qi flow that was stuck in a certain part quickly turned into the previous unimpeded operation.

In fact, this mood change is equivalent to a mental breakdown, and it is also the effect of consciousness, due to the excessive concentration of a certain moment, the raw material messenger needed for normal thinking of the brain is depleted, and a large number of "waste" messengers are produced, so that the brain is in a state of dysfunction, and there are signs of madness.

When the internal qi and the spiritual will are fused again, the mental consciousness is transformed into a special energy that can transcend the form and manifestation, and the direct effect of the realization is to gradually heal the previous state of mind damage.

However, mental damage is far more difficult to heal than physical injury, which is also the temporary decline in the cultivation realm that Yang Gaoyu just mentioned.

Therefore, when Li Zhi's mental state once again returned to its peak, he could already feel that the original strength of the late stage of cultivation had fallen to the middle stage of the simple matter, and the loss of a whole small rank.

However, he didn't have much frustration in his heart, but secretly rejoiced, only lamenting that this kind of accident came at the right time, he thought that the sooner such an abnormality occurred, the more timely the loophole could be repaired, otherwise it would happen at some point in the future, and it would not be so lucky, and it would be difficult to guarantee that there would be no enemies around him who would take the opportunity to take his life.

The moment the energy was restored, a terrifying force swept by, and in a wave of light and shadow, it set off a wave of energy in the veins around him.
