Bai Xiaowen directly sat down and used his actions to show that he was not annoyed, so just speak.
Needless to say, the emotions of the two ghost palace maids did not need to be mentioned. On the other hand, the Ghost Queen was overjoyed and told him about the changes in Jiangdu City.
In the 13th year of the Daye Dynasty, Li Yuan entered the capital and made Yang You the emperor, changing his name to Yining. Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang, who was in Jiangdu, somehow became the old emperor.
Of course, Yang Guang would not use his son's era name. He continued to use the Daye era name and insisted on not returning to the capital. He already had plans to settle down in a corner and was prepared to make Jiangdu the new capital.
However, Yang Guang's subordinates betrayed him.
In the 3rd month of the 14th year of the Daye Dynasty, the Right Garrison General Yuwen Huaji and his brother Yuwen Zhiji worked together with the Wuben General Sima Dekan to betray him. The rebel army entered the palace, and the Thousand Bull Guards (equivalent to the Imperial Guards) Li Xiaoben and Li Xiaozhi, who were in charge of protecting the emperor, betrayed him.
Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang was killed by the rebel army.
Yuwen Huaji coveted Empress Xiao's beauty and failed. Empress Xiao touched a pillar and died.
When Bai Xiaowen heard this, he muttered to himself. In the historical records, Empress Xiao led a wandering life until she died in the 21st year of the Zhenguan Dynasty and was buried with Sui Yang Emperor. Unexpectedly, in the Spirit Realm, this empress' situation was slightly different.
After sighing, Bai Xiaowen still paid attention to Empress Xiao's narration.
The previous events were recorded in the Book of Sui, and it was not much different from the historical records. Bai Xiaowen did not find it weird. However, after Sui Yang Emperor's death, the plot slowly broke away from the historical records and headed in the direction of fantasy.
Sui Yang Emperor was the same as many other emperors. He wanted to live forever. Every time he went to a place, he would carry a golden box with dragon patterns on it.
After Sui Yang Emperor died, the golden box was naturally taken by the rebel army.
However, no one knew what had happened to the Dragon Pattern Golden Box that caused the rebels in Jiangdu City to gradually mutate. They became neither human nor ghost.
The rebel soldiers were terrified. Some said that it was the crime of regicide, so they were punished by the heavens. Some people blamed it on the Dragon Pattern Golden Box and tried to destroy it, but no one succeeded. To be exact, they couldn't even 'open' the Dragon Pattern Golden Box.
The rebel army tried to escape from Jiangdu, but they were once again met with an extremely strange "air wall". This time, everyone felt that it was a divine retribution.
The rebels went to the mass grave in an attempt to find the emperor's body and bury it properly. However, they found that the environment around the mass grave seemed to have changed. It was filled with an extremely cold aura that would repel their half-demonized bodies.
According to Empress Xiao's explanation, this cold aura was the blessing of the spirit of Emperor Yang Guang after his death.
After forcing a few demonized soldiers to test the waters and disappearing without a trace, the rebel army did not dare to come again.
After a long time, the rebel army in Jiangdu City became demons and ghosts. Although they still had human forms now, it was just a disguise. Their real faces were uglier and more ferocious than the other.
Bai Xiaowen noticed that when Empress Xiao mentioned the demons in Jiangdu City, she still called them "rebels" and "bandits". This not only represented a habit, but also meant that Empress Xiao was not very sensitive to the identity of the rebels in Jiangdu City. This was because Empress Xiao was now a ghost, which was also a branch of the "demon race".
At this point, Empress Xiao concluded, "The bandits in Jiangdu City are always thinking of breaking into the mass grave, eliminating me, and snatching His Majesty's body. They were affected by the Dragon Pattern Golden Box and could not enter, so they found the Taoist priest. The Taoist priest is an outsider, so he is not affected by the Dragon Pattern Golden Box at the moment. However, after a long time, he will be like the bandits in Jiangdu City. "
Bai Xiaowen immediately checked his status. On the Attribute Panel, he saw an inconspicuous negative effect.
[The aura of the Dragon Pattern Golden Box: The target is affected by the space power of the Dragon Pattern Golden Box and is assimilating with a specific space area. For every two hours, the concentration of Yin in the body will increase by 2.5%. When the concentration of Yin reaches 100%, the target will lose the identity of an Awakened and be forcibly transformed into a demon.]
Bai Xiaowen was slightly shocked. He finally realized where the uncomfortable feeling of suppression came from after he stepped into this treasure space.
It turned out that the influence of the Dragon Pattern Golden Box was also effective on the Awakened. It was subtly changing the physique of the Awakened!
According to the calculation of time, after the Awakened stepped into the space portal, they would be affected by the Dragon Pattern Golden Box. If they could not break out of the situation within the time limit, they would be transformed into a demon and lose their identity as an Awakened.
And this time limit was 40 hours — in other words, three days and eight hours!
Empress Xiao didn't know what was going on in Bai Xiaowen's mind. She was still trying her best to instigate him, "Taoist Priest, you are a man of morality. You won't help the evildoers and the rebels in Jiang Capital, right? Now, His Majesty's holy body is here, but his true spirit is badly damaged. If the Taoist priest can kill the 'Ten Bandits' who betrayed His Majesty that day and restore His Majesty's true spirit, the widow is willing to repay your kindness in her next life! "
Bai Xiaowen controlled the shadow assassin to turn around and walk back. Empress Xiao was slightly stunned, but she did not stop him. Instead, she was full of expectation. She called two ghost palace maids over and gave them an order.
The two ghost palace maids quietly followed.
…
Outside the icy aura of the mass grave, Bai Xiaowen slowly opened his eyes.
"How is it?" Tang Fengyi asked, "Did the Taoist priest find out the clues?"
"Yes, I did find out something." Bai Xiaowen nodded and said, "Demons are causing trouble in broad daylight. As a cultivator, I can't sit by and do nothing. Today, I will kill the demons and return peace to Jiangdu City. "
Tang Fengyi was overjoyed. "The Taoist priest is merciful. On behalf of the people of Jiangdu City, I thank you!"
Whoosh!
Li Shuyi suddenly took a step and slid behind Tang Fengyi. After a lightning-fast movement, the Red Cloud Sword came out of Tang Fengyi's chest from his back, extending a shining sword tip.
Tang Fengyi suddenly froze and looked at Bai Xiaowen in disbelief. "Taoist priest, what do you mean?"
"Killing demons and eliminating demons." Bai Xiaowen smiled.
"Roar!"
Large amounts of black fog suddenly rose from Tang Fengyi's body. In an instant, he changed from an armored general to a ferocious and hideous demon!
His height had doubled, and he had a head full of knotted brown hair. There were two sarcomas on his forehead, and under his triangular eyes was a nose full of small tumors. There were also fangs that extended out of his mouth.
"Your mouth is quite similar to an orc's," Bai Xiaowen commented. "However, you are uglier than an orc. You look like the product of an orc and a toad."
Tang Fengyi's face was gloomy. "Damn you, stinky Taoist priest! You are dead! "His body suddenly swayed and he pounced forward.
