The Song Dynasty was the king for thirteen years before he knew that he was Tianlong.

Chapter 191 Aggravating the Cold Poison
Seven stars shining together? Zhao Ti frowned slightly behind the statue.

The Seven Luminaries refer to the sun, moon, gold, wood, water, fire and earth. It is not uncommon for the seven luminaries to appear at the same time, but it is extremely rare for them to shine at the same time.

The seven stars must appear in the sky at the same time, with their brightness far exceeding that of other stars, and they complement each other, to be called the same brilliance.

This is a peculiar astronomical phenomenon. Generally, the imperial courts of various countries have special departments responsible for observing the sky. The Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty called it the Sitianjian, while the Western Xia Dynasty called it the Chatianshu.

Zhao Ti didn't know that the Song Dynasty's Sitian Observatory hadn't observed the seven stars shining together, but he thought that since the Great Witch Cult could discover it, the Song Dynasty would naturally know it as well.

I just don't know why the other party was surprised by this. This mysterious sect believes in ghosts and witchcraft, and practices divination and interpretation. They should have different explanations for various celestial phenomena, and use the theory of omens to confuse the people. Over time, they may have believed it themselves.

Zhao Ti speculated in his heart, wondering what the celestial phenomenon of the seven stars shining together represented in the Great Witch Cult.

At this time, a voice came from the front: "Master Ji, is it true... is it really the seven stars shining together?"

Zhao Ti looked over when he heard the words. The person who spoke was the man in black behind him. It seemed that the old man in front was the great wizard who stayed in the main court.

The old man nodded slowly, his eyes fixed on the black jade disk. "No mistake. Although this Mo Yuan astrological disk in the sect has no other functions, it is extremely accurate in observing celestial phenomena. Even the instruments in the Astronomical Bureau may not be able to compare with it."

The man in black said, "Master Ji, if the seven stars really shine together, won't the world change drastically?"

The old man nodded, then shook his head: "The last time the seven stars shone together was hundreds of years ago. I wonder what huge changes will happen in the world this time."

The man in black asked, "Master, do you want to report this to the court?"

The old man remained silent for a long time before he sighed and said, "Observe for a few more days. If the shadow of the star disk lasts longer, it means that the change will last longer and become more serious in the future. I will report it then..."

The man in black said, "Yes, Dasiji."

At this moment, the old man was seen walking around the disc several times, then stopped, looked up at the hollow roof of the temple, no one knew what he was thinking, and he didn't move.

After a long time, he turned around and said in a low voice: "Go back."

Zhao Ti watched the three people leave the hall, walk downwards and out from behind the statue.

He looked at the Mo Yuan astrological disk with a thoughtful look on his face, and left after a while.

Afterwards, he walked around again, jumped back into the garden from the second floor, left the Witch Cult's headquarters, and returned to the Qingsong Inn.

In the next few days, the negotiations between the Song Dynasty and Western Xia were nearing completion. The price and quantity of the horses were basically finalized, and they were just waiting for the contract to be signed and then traded across the border.

That night, Zhao Ti was practicing martial arts in the room when he heard a sound coming from the distance outside the window. He looked up and saw A Zi poking her head out from between the flowers and trees.

Zhao Ti calculated in his mind that the seven days were up and this girl came to him to cure the cold poison.

A Zi looked around. Zhao Ti's place was a private courtyard, and it was quiet with no outsiders coming and going. She looked at the flowers and trees for a while, then walked over carefully.

But he paused at the window, not daring to jump out again. He walked forward and knocked on the door to enter.

Zhao Ti glanced at her, pointed to the wall, told her to stand there, and then continued practicing.

Ah Zi was still wearing the purple dress, her face was a little pale, as if she was scared at the moment, but she looked fair and pretty.

However, there was a mischievous and cunning look in her eyes, which was completely different from her expression. She looked like a doll, which was both funny and pitiful.

But Zhao Ti didn't believe her at all, and ignored her at the moment. After nearly an hour, when he finished his practice, he looked over again.

Ah Zi rolled her eyes and said, "Hero, you are really not my father?"

Zhao Ti narrowed his eyes, and Ah Zi said hurriedly, "I once heard from Master that there is a kind of martial arts in the world called the Eternal Youth Kung Fu. Once it is mastered, it is possible to remain young forever. The hero knows my background, and it is possible that practicing this martial art can keep me young."

Zhao Ti sneered: "Go pick the lantern flowers."

Upon hearing this, Ah Zi hurried to light the lamp. After working for a long time, she finally lit the candle brightly. Then she said, "Master, I have been flattering you in my heart every moment these days. I dare not slack off at all."

Zhao Ti grabbed the little snake beside him. The little snake was now more energetic. Zhao Ti pointed to a wooden basin beside the door and said, "Go to the tree in the yard and fetch a basin of water."

Ah Zi replied "yes" in a flattering manner, but turned around with an angry expression and went outside with the basin.

He went to the well under the tree, drew a bucket of water, poured it into the basin, and then brought it back.

Zhao Ti said, "Bring it closer." A Zi hurriedly walked to the couch with the water, and saw Zhao Ti put one palm into the basin, and then circulated the icy true energy. White cold air curled up in the basin, and it began to freeze in a moment. In just a few breaths, the basin of water had turned into a block of ice.

Ah Zi was really shocked and scared when she saw this. Zhao Ti said calmly: "It's easy to freeze a person into ice."

Ah Zi hurriedly flattered him, "Your Majesty, you have unrivaled skills, and you are so powerful that you shock the world..."

Zhao Ti reached out and threw the little snake into the basin. The little snake jumped for joy. He said, "Take it aside and clean the room carefully."

A Zi gritted her teeth secretly, feeling angry and scared. Zhao Ti glanced at her and she hurriedly acted like a well-behaved and obedient person. Zhao Ti couldn't help but sneer.

After cleaning up the room, Ah Zi came over and said with a smile, "Master, can you cure the cold poison?"

Zhao Ti nodded, raised his hand, and pointed a finger at her Danzhong acupoint.

Ah Zizhi felt her body suddenly go cold. It was another needle-shaped true energy that entered her body and sank straight to her dantian. She could not help but step back in surprise.

Zhao Ti said calmly: "The true qi this time can suppress the true qi of that day, and it can guarantee that it will not attack for three days. Come back after three days."

Ah Zi's expression changed drastically, she felt extremely aggrieved, her lips moved but she didn't dare to say anything, she could only bow and said: "Then I... I will come to see you again in three days."

After saying that, she glanced at Zhao Ti and walked out cautiously.

Zhao Ti looked at her back and thought secretly in his heart that even if he wanted to bring her back to the Central Plains or send her to Dali, he was afraid that this time it would not be possible.

Because he wanted to get rid of the great wizard of the Witch Cult, and after getting rid of him, he would travel west to Tianshan Mountain and go to Lingjiu Palace on Piaomiao Peak to find Tong Lao, and try to obtain the eternal and everlasting Changchun Gong from Tong Lao.

Although this may not be a difficult task for himself, it would be a pity to bring along an extra burden. It is better to restrain the other party first, make her feel afraid, and then see whether to take her away when he comes back, or use other methods to make her go to the Central Plains.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Cai Jing resigned from the Xixia court and then returned to report to Zhao Ti.

Zhao Ti asked him to pack up and take the delegation away tomorrow, and then go to the border to preside over the specific matters of the horse trade.

Then he summoned Zhe Keshi and asked him to arrange for someone from the Jiyisi to replace him. He would not return to Song territory for the time being. Upon hearing this, Zhe Keshi went to make arrangements.

At night, A Zi came to Zhao Ti's residence again, but this time she was more cautious and treaded carefully.

After Zhao Ti had her busy for a while, she was so tired that her face was full of misery, and then he called her over.

At this moment, A Zi was extremely afraid of Zhao Ti. She didn't know what he was trying to do. He knew her background but didn't tell her. Although she didn't care about her background, she was somewhat curious.

The other party injected a cold poison into her body, but told her to flatter him in her heart all the time, saying that he was detoxifying her. Instead, he made things worse and injected her with a second poison, which was even shorter than the last time and would take effect in three days.

Originally, I thought I had found a great backer in my master, but who knew that my master didn't seem to dare to offend me. Not only did he not stand up for me, he even asked me to avoid him.

Zhao Ti looked at her for a moment and said calmly, "I'll make your cold attack last a little longer this time."

Ah Zi blinked her eyes, but the other party still refused to detoxify. But how long would it take?

Zhao Ti reached out and touched her shoulder, and the phantom Yin Qi entered her body, merging with the previous two, and then penetrated deep into her Dantian.

He said, "This cold poison will only take effect after a year. You cannot leave Shuiyue Temple within a year. If you leave, I will no longer care about your life or death."

Ah Zi heard this and said carefully: "Master, I will definitely not leave, but what if... you don't come after a year?"

Zhao Ti glanced at her and said, "If I don't come, you will die."

Ah Zi's face turned pale immediately: "I, I don't want to die..."

Zhao Ti said: "Then ask Li Qiushui to help, maybe she can save your life for a few more days. Send you to the Duan family of Dali. His family has a martial art called One Finger Yang, which can keep you alive for a while. I might go to the Duan family to detoxify you."

Ah Zi nodded hurriedly: "Duan family, I understand. I have a Duan character tattooed on my shoulder, but does that mean I am from this Duan family?"

Zhao Ti said coldly: "Go back!"

Seeing that he didn't answer, Ah Zi felt puzzled, but thinking of the horror of the cold poison, she turned around, left the room and went back to Shuiyue Temple.

The next day, Zhao Ti quietly left Qingsong Inn and hid in the city. When night came, he went straight to the headquarters of the Witch Cult.
