Chapter 563 Liu Yuan’s death
In the following period, the capital was turbulent.
The Tai Sui Gang, which had been suppressed for a long time, suddenly launched an attack and uprooted the main halls of the four major gangs: the Eight Gods Sect, Fengyun Hui, Ming Xin Zhai and Qing Jiu Sect with a thunderous force.
The fall of these gangs seemed to happen overnight. All the middle and high-level gangs were massacred, and the disciples defected and surrendered one after another, making the Taisu Gang the largest gang in the capital.
Li Xiong, the leader of the Taisui Gang, took advantage of the situation to unify fifty-seven gangs of different sizes in the capital and created an organization called the "Lion League", calling himself the leader. From then on, he controlled all the underground gangs in the capital. Gangs give unified orders.
Speaking of the original four major gangs, they had been fighting for hegemony in the capital for a long time. They usually bullied men and dominated women, causing complaints among the people. However, after the establishment of the "Lion League", Li Xiong promulgated a series of rules to uniformly restrain brothers from all gangs. Although it still involves businesses such as casinos and private salt, it has been accepted by many people compared with before. .
The situation in the rivers and lakes is changing, and the situation above the temple is also treacherous.
The "Nine Masters Party", which originally had the highest claim for the crown prince, fell to the bottom due to the rebellion caused by the fifth prince Liu Bai and the sixth prince Liu He.
Later, Liu Yang, the fourteenth prince within the "Nine Lords Party", turned against him, which made Liu Fengting even more disheartened and gave up the fight for the throne completely.
But the originally unknown twelfth prince Liu Zihan suddenly emerged. Not only did he win over several young princes, he even got the support of He Yunling, the Minister of Rites.
He gradually replaced the original position of the "Nine Lords Party" and became one of the new three parties, and also participated in the competition for the throne.
However, the disturbances from the outside world can no longer affect Liang Yan now.
In fact, for him, it doesn't make much difference who will eventually take the throne, because this newly ascended emperor will be their key to unlocking the "Secret Treasure of King Cheng".
If Liu Zihan hadn’t begged so hard that day, he wouldn’t have put in the effort to let Ah-Dai integrate the underground gangs in the capital, and then use this part of the power to support Liu Zihan.
But while he was helping Liu Zihan, Liu Zihan also did Liang Yan a favor.
There are four major areas in the capital, namely: Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku, and Xuanwu. Someone began to work secretly in every area, and dozens of Taoist temples were built in a short period of time.
Others only thought it was the preference of a certain palace noble, but they didn't know that these Taoist temples were all used by Liang Yan to form the "Red Earth Creation Array".
The reason why he agreed to come to the capital in the first place actually had his own selfish motives, that is, he wanted to use Kyoto, a big city of millions of people, to refine his "Burning Emotion Seal" and practice the Zhoutian Juemei. The second meridian.
After all, Liang Yan’s biggest trump card at the moment is actually the “Mayfly Sword” in his dantian!
This sword is made from the wood left by the Qing Emperor, and its grade is naturally of extraordinary importance. It's just that because he is currently in the sword embryo stage, the flying sword cannot leave the body, which results in the inability to show his magical powers.
If you want to break through from the "Sword Embryo Stage" to the "Jian Gang Stage", you must continue to cultivate the flying sword in your body until the flying sword is finally completed, the sword gang is born, and it is separated from the body and unsheathed!
This process is difficult to achieve in fifty or sixty years.
As the "Tao Jian Jing" is a wonderful book on sword cultivation, there are naturally ways to shorten this time. The "Burning Seal" uses the love and hatred of thousands of creatures in the city to turn it into excellent nourishment for cultivating the spirituality of the natal flying sword, which can greatly shorten the time for cultivating the flying sword.
Liang Yan has now found the second volume of "Tao Sword Classic", and he is even more focused on cultivation. He asked Liu Zihan to build a Taoist temple in the city, and he personally arranged the formations in the Taoist temple.
Dozens of Taoist temples were connected together, eventually turning the entire capital into the "Red Dust Creation Array" recorded in the book.
As soon as the formation was completed, the "Burning Emotion Seal" engraved on Liang Yan's back was immediately activated. He sat cross-legged and meditated in his mansion alone, and began to practice the second Zhou Tian Jue according to the method recorded in the "Tao Sword Sutra". Pulse: "Beiming Immortal Vein" comes.
More than a month passed in a flash, and deep winter ushered in the capital.
There are piles of snow on the streets, but the houses and courtyards are beginning to be decorated with lights and colorful decorations, making it look like they are getting ready to welcome the new year. For ordinary people, their biggest wish throughout the year is to have a reunion dinner on New Year's Eve, no matter who you are as the emperor.
Liang Yan also put away his exercises at this time, standing in his yard, looking at the vast snow, feeling a little emotional in his heart.
I had heard from the palace before that Liu Yuan's health was getting worse day by day, and he might not be able to hold on for long.
The news from Qiao Wanli is that the seal of the imperial mausoleum is gradually loosening, and the complete release of "King Cheng's Secret Treasure" is not far away.
A war is about to break out.
Although Liang Yan is quite confident in his own strength, the demonic monk hiding in the dark may not have any accomplices. Once the two sides fight, it is up to them to decide whose hands this "King Cheng's Secret" will fall into.
Just when he was slightly dazed, a servant from the mansion came to report:
The twelfth prince Liu Zihan is here!
"Huh? What is he doing here?" Liang Yan was confused, waved his hand and said: "Bring him to see me in the courtyard."
The servant responded and stepped away. , not long after, he brought someone back.
Liu Zihan, dressed in a white robe, walked in front first, and behind him was a woman wearing a goose-yellow gown with a gentle and graceful temperament.
"Wan'er? Why are you here too?" Liang Yan asked with slight surprise.
Liu Wanrou faced the sky with her eyes red. She had obviously just cried a lot. When she saw Liang Yan, she seemed to be unable to bear it anymore. She threw herself into his arms and cried: "Brother Liang, my father. My father has passed away." "Liu Yuan died?" Liang Yan was a little upset. Although he had known that this outcome was destined, he was still a little upset at the moment.
"Just this morning." Liu Wanrou felt sad, her voice choked with sobs.
Everyone was silent for a while. Liu Wanrou suddenly raised her head again, looked at Liang Yan and said, "Do you know what my father said to me before he left?"
Liang Yan was stunned. , subconsciously asked: "What did you say?"
"He said he wanted to see you again!"
"What?!" Liang Yan's mind suddenly went blank, and the feeling of turmoil in his heart became more intense.
Since he began to practice Taoism, his concentration has long been far beyond that of ordinary people, and he does not pay much attention to life, old age, illness and death in this world.
But hearing the bad news about Liu Yuan still caused a slight fluctuation in his heart. This fluctuation came from nowhere, making him feel a little disappointed.
At this moment, Liu Zihan cupped his hands and said:
"Brother Tang, oh no, it's Brother Liang! Zihan came here to borrow troops from Brother Liang!"
