They seemed completely unaware of Hu Lieyuan's arrival and just sat quietly with their eyes closed, motionless.
Zhou Yichen sat upright and clasped his fists: "Your Majesty."
Hu Lieyuan nodded: "Thank you."
He could see that this was forcing others to make things difficult for him, so he always had to express something in his words. He couldn't be too arrogant, as it would only offend others.
More importantly, we still need to count on their efforts. If we offend them and deliberately make a mistake, it will be a small gain but a big gain.
Zhou Yichen smiled and said: "Your Majesty, please drop a drop of your heart's blood into the mirror."
Hu Lieyuan hesitated for a moment, frowned, and finally bit his index finger and squeezed out a drop of blood.
His eyes were fixed on this drop of blood.
As an emperor, blood essence is extremely precious and important. There are many evil masters in the world, and there are some miraculous and evil arts that can harm people through blood essence.
Moreover, blood essence can reveal a lot of things, so we must be on guard against it.
He wanted to be on guard that this drop of blood would be leaked out and cause big trouble, but what he saw was that this drop of blood was quickly absorbed by the mirror and not a trace was left.
After a drop of blood completely seeped into it, the mirror surface was still bright and flawless, as if nothing had happened.
This revealed the strangeness, which made Hu Lieyuan more and more curious.
This Tiangang Mirror is the treasure of Tiangang Palace and the source of its prestige, not martial arts.
But until now, the world only knows about Tiangang Palace's amazing martial arts skills, but not about Tiangang Palace's housekeeping skills.
Gein Tiangang Palace has been trying its best to weaken its housekeeping skills, deliberately keeping the world from knowing about it.
I really don’t want to use Tiangang Mirror anymore.
The Tiangang Mirror is said to reflect the sky and illuminate the earth, reflecting the past and the present, and illuminating everything. It can be said to be magical and incomparable.
"Shall we start?" He looked at Zhou Yichen.
Zhou Yichen said slowly: "Your Majesty, please wait a moment and allow me to control the mirror."
Hu Lieyuan nodded.
Zhou Yichen pressed his palms on the edge of the round mirror.
The round mirror is set on a stone base. The stone base is simple and decorated with simple and fierce patterns.
The other eight people next to the round mirror pressed on the edge of the round mirror.
Suddenly a bright light appeared in the round mirror, like the sun shining on a pool of autumn water, making the autumn water beautiful.
The bright light slowly grew bigger and brighter, and finally became so bright that it was impossible to look directly at it.
Hu Lieyuan ignored it and concentrated on his eyes, blocking out the force of light. He stared at the round mirror, watching it begin to distort and images gradually appeared.
But this image is erratic, distorted, and unreal. It can't be seen clearly, it can only be vague and vague, seeming to be there and not being there at all.
He was dazzled, but he didn't understand anything.
I didn't appear on it, and there wasn't even any really clear image on it, just some inexplicable pictures.
After a while, even though he was doing exercises to protect his eyes, his face was still filled with tears and his eyes were bloodshot.
"Take it." Zhou Yichen's voice suddenly sounded, deep and powerful.
The eight old men and middle-aged men took out their palms at the same time, and the round mirror suddenly lit up. They were pushed flat by an invisible force for a foot, and almost fell off the high platform.
He stopped at the edge of the high platform, and after shaking his body for a few times, he finally stabilized, but his face was as pale as paper and there was blood on the corner of his mouth.
Hu Lieyuan frowned and stared at them, finding that they were as weak as candles in the wind, which was in sharp contrast to their previous tyranny.
Obviously, in just a short period of time, the Tiangang Mirror had exhausted all their strength.
With such a huge consumption, it can only be said that the Tiangang Mirror is indeed a Tiangang Mirror, and no wonder they have never wanted to use the Tiangang Mirror.
This kind of consumption is too shocking and too hurtful.
Zhou Yichen pressed his palms against the edge of the mirror and remained motionless, letting the light in the mirror slowly converge, and finally completely converge into the mirror.
In the end, the Tiangang Mirror returned to its original appearance, with a drop of blood floating in the sky above it.
Zhou Yichen slowly released his palms, and white air suddenly surged out of his head.
It's like a steamer that was opened suddenly.
A large amount of white gas surged out instantly, scrambling to get out, suddenly flew into the air, and gradually disappeared.
Zhou Yichen's face was so pale that he seemed to be transparent, and the blue blood vessels under his skin could be vaguely seen.
He whispered: "Your Majesty, please take back this drop of blood essence."
Hu Lieyuan flicked his sleeve, put it into his sleeve, and said in a deep voice: "Thank you for your hard work, Palace Master Zhou."
Zhou Yichen smiled helplessly: "Wei Chen is just trying his best."
He slowly let go of his hand, and the round mirror looked no longer strange.
He did not stand up in a hurry, but said with a bitter smile: "Your Majesty, if we do it again, our Tiangang Palace will be destroyed."
Hu Lieyuan waved his hand: "Don't worry, I'm not that greedy, and I won't disturb Tiangang Palace at will."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhou Yichen cupped his fists and thanked him.
He stood up with difficulty, shaking.
Hu Lieyuan did not reach out to help him.
He understood that due to his status, it was better not to stretch out his hand than to stretch out his hand.
Zhou Yichen stood firm, exhaled a few breaths slowly, his face slowly turned rosy, and he smiled and said: "Your Majesty, let's go back and talk."
Hu Lieyuan nodded.
The two came to a huge rock on a mountain peak. There was nothing around them except for this piece of rock sticking out from the sky.
There is also a pine tree on this huge rock, standing proudly and tenaciously against the howling wind, covering their heads.
"After all, Palace Master Zhou, have you deduced it?"
"...Yes." Zhou Yichen said with a bitter look on his face, "Your Majesty, I have one more thing to say."
"No need to say more." Hu Lieyuan waved his hand: "I am indeed asking for trouble. I just want to know how long I have left."
"Why should the emperor..."
"Don't be nagging!" Hu Lieyuan said impatiently: "Quickly tell me, how long will it take?!"
A bad premonition arose in his heart.
If he had enough longevity, Zhou Yichen would not be in such a dilemma. It was obvious that he had already deduced it and the result was not satisfactory.
"...Three years." Zhou Yichen spit out two words helplessly and said with a wry smile: "Maybe we made a mistake. Tiangang Palace is indeed not allowed."
"Three years..." Hu Lieyuan nodded lightly.
Seeing his expression, Zhou Yichen couldn't help but be startled.
No one should have such a calm expression when they hear that they only have three years to live, even an eminent monk who has seen through life and death.
Hu Lieyuan sighed: "Three years."
Zhou Yichen said: "Your Majesty, the Tiangang Mirror has a huge error. It is said to be three years, but it may be thirty years."
"Okay, thank you." Hu Lieyuan waved his hand: "This matter needs to be kept confidential. You should know the rules."
This matter can only be kept in one's heart and must not be leaked, otherwise, the world may be in chaos.
"Yeah." Hu Lieyuan nodded, turned around and walked down.
Zhou Yichen followed him down and respectfully saw him off.
Looking at Hu Lieyuan's calm back, Zhou Yichen was extremely puzzled and at the same time admired him greatly.
As expected of an emperor, he is so determined in his mind, so indifferent to life and death, and yet he is so calm and composed even after only three years of life.
If it were you, you would never be able to do it.
Hu Lieyuan looked calm, but his heart was extremely uneasy.
The Tiangang Mirror confirmed Fakong's words, does that mean that he can extend his life for another hundred years?
Is it worth exchanging Dayun's world domination for one hundred years?
This question could not be decided until Fakong appeared again and asked with a smile whether he had made a decision.
