"What?"

Zhou Shilang stood up suddenly, his face was full of shock, and Yan Yunlu and the others also widened their eyes, as if they had seen ghosts.

The rooster, which had obviously been cut off, was now crowing high-pitched, and its wings were flapping vigorously, playing majestic.

"Quick, get that chicken and show me. Zhou Shilang hurriedly shouted.

The young chamberlain immediately rushed over and grabbed the big rooster and sent it up, and when Zhou Shilang looked at the rooster's neck carefully, the wound on the neck actually healed, and he was immediately shocked, "This ...... Isn't this a technique of bringing the dead back to life?"

"Exactly. ”

Li Mo nodded slightly.

Naturally, this is not a resurrection technique.

Instead, he stuffed the puppet heart that had been refined long ago into the rooster's body with great speed, making it a puppet.

The rooster had a glimmer of its own breath in it, and that was enough to keep it alive for months.

The Xuanmen puppet technique of the Shang Heavenly Kingdom is prevalent, and this mortal land does have some superficial learning, but there must be a refining process to manipulate the dead corpse.

And Li Mo has been studying since he set foot in the puppet path, and now he has cultivated to the realm where he can use the puppet heart to directly control the corpses of low-level beasts into puppets, and omit the refining process.

This is absolutely miraculous in the mortal land.

"This resurrection is really eye-opening, let's go and tell Your Majesty, I believe Your Majesty will be interested in meeting the master. ”

Zhou Shilang changed his previous snub attitude and hurriedly put on a smiling face.

Li Mo nodded slightly, showing such a hand, it was inevitable to see the emperor's old man, but he also advised, "Please also ask Lord Zhou to keep his mouth shut, this incident of resurrection is not enough for outsiders." ”

"Of course. ”

Zhou Shilang nodded solemnly, and then hurried to the inner city.

The reason for Li Mo's advice is also simple, if this matter reaches the ears of the Xuanmen people, it may cause some turmoil. Of course, as long as it is not a Xuanmen powerhouse in the Divine Power Realm, he will not want to see the mystery of the rooster.

It didn't take long for a young chamberlain to rush over and lead Li Mo towards the inner city.

As soon as you enter the inner city, it is a group of palaces of grand scale, the doors are all inlaid with gold nails and painted vermilion lacquer, the walls are engraved with dragons and phoenixes, the palace buildings are heavy, the eaves are spine beasts, all of them are full of simplicity and majesty.

Li Mo is really familiar with this place, and he can find the way with his eyes closed.

Thinking that you were the chief elder back then, and even got the privilege of not worshipping the emperor, what a majesty it was in this imperial city.

It's just ridiculous to think about it now, thinking that he thinks he is smart, but he has dedicated the best years of his life and the best youth to this bullshit royal family.

In a flash, he arrived in front of a large hall in the inner palace, and after entering the palace, he saw a person sitting on the throne, his appearance was strange, the heavenly court was wide and deep, the dragon's eyes and tiger nose, and the ears were as big as wheels, it was the contemporary emperor of the Shang Heavenly Kingdom, Xiahou Youde.

Eight years ago, Xiahou Youde was in his early sixties, and his appearance was already old, but now his appearance has grown backwards, and he has recovered his appearance to be in his forties.

"You are a master who can resurrect the dead? I am an old man with a Dao bone and fairy style, and I don't want to be so young. ”

Xiahou Youde looked at him and said.

After serving this old man for many years, Li Mo didn't know that this person was very suspicious, so he said lightly, "Don't hide it from Your Majesty, the old man is actually seventy-two, but he has cultivated the art of rejuvenating his face, and he looks relatively young." ”

"I see. ”

Xiahou Youde nodded slightly, and then said, "Just now Gonggong Zhou talked about your resurrection of the dead chicken, although I haven't seen it myself, but it's really amazing to think about it. However, do you know that what I am seeking is the art of immortality?"

"Of course I know, but I guess His Majesty also knows that even the people in the Xuanmen can't live forever, so how can we mortal people be an exception?" Li Mo said lightly.

Xiahou Youde's face suddenly sank and said, "What, do you mean that I am daydreaming?"

"Your Majesty is angry, and the old decay means that the law of immortality is not the same, and if you stare at the word "immortality" too stubbornly. In fact, if you can die and be resurrected, and the cycle repeats, isn't that also a way to live forever?" Li Mo said unhurriedly.

Xiahou Youde's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked Zhou Shilang on the side, "What do you think?"

Zhou Shilang pondered his expression, and then replied cautiously, "The slave thinks what this master said is not unreasonable. ”

Xiahou Youde nodded, and said, "So, you not only have the ability to resurrect beasts, but also resurrect the dead?"

"Of course. ”

Li Mo smiled slightly.

"Well, in that case, I will test your abilities with my own eyes. If you really have this ability, then I will definitely use it again for you, and you will be able to hold a high official position. ”

Xiahou Youde said in a deep voice, and then the conversation changed, and his voice became stronger, "However, if you dare to tease me in the slightest, then I want not only your life, but also your nine clans!"

Li Mo sneered when he heard this, what a majestic emperor, it is really not what it was back then.

I think when he entered the palace, Xiahou Youde still had a bit of a gentleman's appearance, although he was vigorous, but he never killed indiscriminately, and now he has beheaded a few people just today, and now he has put down this cruel word.

It stands to reason that even if you deceive yourself, it is just a loss of your head, and it can't be involved in the Nine Clans.

Sure enough, this emperor has already fallen into the devil in order to seek immortality, and he is no longer the person he was back then.

He remained silent and said lightly: "Your Majesty, you can rest assured, the talent of old decay is real learning." ”

"Alright, let's go, move the prison. ”

Xiahou Youde waved his hand.

So, Li Mo followed Xiahou Youde to the prison.

Surrounded by towers, it forms a tight complex of three floors inside and three floors outside, each tower has archers on top and axe soldiers on the bottom, whether outsiders want to break in, or people in prison want to escape, it is extremely impossible.

When they arrived at the center of the towers, there was a huge octagonal iron tower, and at this time, the tower door was wide open, and Shen Luolie, the commander of the prison, led a team of men and horses to welcome the holy car.

"Lord Shen, I'm going to the fourth floor of the prison, you can lead the way. ”

Xiahou Youde said.

Shen Luolie immediately got up and respectfully led the way.

In the center of the first floor of the tower is a passage to the underground, which is the place where the prison is located, and it is said that there are nine floors in total, and the heavier the crime, the deeper the floor will be held.

After passing through the heavily guarded gate, you soon reached the fourth floor.

As soon as I walked in, it was a dimly lit hall, and several jailers on one side were sitting on chairs talking about something, and at this moment they quickly knelt down to greet each other.

On one side of the hall was the path leading to the depths, and on either side were dark cells, with dim torches on the walls, the flames were blown by the gusts of wind, and ghosts with teeth and claws shook on the walls.

"According to the report, Zhao Zhe died this morning?"

Xiahou Youde asked.

"Exactly, the body is still in the cell, and it will not be cleared until the evening. ”

Shin replied.

"Okay, take me over. ”

Xiahou Youde said.

Shen Luolie immediately led the way inside, and it didn't take long for him to come to a cell.

In the hay-covered prison, there was an old man lying on the ground, because he had been here all the year round and looked very thin, and at this time he had no breath.

"Open the door. ”

Xiahou Youde ordered.

After Shen Luolie opened the door, Xiahou Youde waved his hand again, causing them all to retreat.

Then, Xiahou Youde said: "This person has only been dead for more than an hour, if you really have the ability to resurrect him, it shouldn't be a problem to resurrect him, right?"

"Of course. ”

Li Mo replied simply.

Although this old man of the emperor is not what he used to be, he is by no means stupid, and he wants to use the corpse in the prison to test his ability.

Revitalizing the corpse, in addition to allowing it to move freely, is of course the most important thing to regain memories and personality.

This is crucial.

In order to confirm this, the old man of the emperor chose the criminals who were imprisoned in the prison.

It is absolutely impossible for an outsider to understand these criminals, so it has become the biggest flaw in the puppetry.

But Li Mo is really familiar with the things in this palace, even if he is not interested in participating in court politics, but with his position, he is also familiar with it, he knows exactly who this Zhao Zhe is, what temperament, and what crimes he committed.

He walked into the prison, tapped his two fingers on Zhao Zhe's forehead, and said something in his mouth, while secretly pouring the puppet heart that had been refined long ago into his body along his mouth.

As soon as the powerful puppet heart entered the body, the breath of Tong Guò Li Mo became the core of Zhao Zhe's corpse.

After a while, Li Mo's voice sank, "Live!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Zhe's eyes suddenly opened and came to life.

He stood up, and when he saw Xiahou Youde, he didn't panic, and he didn't kneel, but his face sank and said, "What are you doing here?"

With just one sentence, Xiahou Youde's face was slightly moved, "You...... Are you really Zhao Qing's family?"

"My Majesty's old eyes are dizzy, I'm not Zhao Zhe, who else can I be?" Zhao Zhe said with a straight face.

"Sure enough, it's Zhao Qing's family. ”

Xiahou Youde looked dumbfounded.

Li Mo saw it in his eyes, and his heart was bright.

This Zhao Zhe was born in a famous family in the imperial city, and he entered the palace as an errand when he was a teenager, and had a very good relationship with Xiahou Youde, who was still the prince at the time, and after Xiahou Youde became the emperor, Zhao Zhe also became a soldier in the army, and he was the only one in the court who dared to say something that displeased Xiahou Youde.

It was only later that Zhao Zhe was involved in a huge corruption case, and all kinds of evidence were conclusive and finally put him in prison.

It is rumored in the palace that Zhao Zhe was framed by someone, and since he was imprisoned in the prison, Xiahou Youde has never seen him in the prison, but he secretly sent someone to investigate the frame, but there has been no result.

Li Mo knew very well that Xiahou Youde felt a little guilty about Zhao Zhe, and as a dignified emperor, he couldn't find out the truth behind this false accusation, so he didn't go to prison.

"Your Majesty, go back, I'm used to this prison. ”

Zhao Zhe waved his hand and said unceremoniously.

Regarding his attitude, Xiahou Youde was not angry, but sighed and said: "Twelve years, your temperament has really not changed at all, and you are the only one in the court who dares to speak to me like this." ”

"I, Zhao Zhe, was born like this, and died like this, isn't it because Your Majesty appreciates my upright temperament that I am given a high position?" Zhao Zhe said lightly.

Xiahou Youde nodded and asked seriously, "Zhao Qing, I ask you, why didn't you say a word when the corruption case was on trial?"

Zhao Zhe looked at him and said: "I don't say a word because I don't admit the crime, but I believe that Your Majesty will give me justice, even now, I still think so." ”

The corners of Xiahou Youde's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he sighed when he looked up to the sky.

At this moment, Zhao Zhe's eyes closed and he fell to the ground.
