"Does it look familiar?" Hu Lieyuan said with a smile, "Have I seen this statue before?"
Zhou Wenjing said slowly: "Does the Emperor remember the Haotian Sect?"
"...Well, remember." Hu Lieyuan nodded: "I lost a lot of Fengtian Palace masters back then."
The Haotian Sect is an evil sect with secretive power and methods. It is even more audacious. It even attacked and killed several masters of the Fengtian Palace, thus angering the imperial court.
Hu Lieyuan ordered the annihilation, and Fengtian Palace finally destroyed his sect with all his strength, which also established the prestige of Fengtian Palace.
Fengtian Temple once seized many treasures from Haotian Sect, including statues of gods.
Hu Lieyuan was very curious about this statue and studied it with his ministers. In the end, he found nothing, so he harvested it in the Great Inner Secret Treasury.
This was also the reason why Zhou Wenjing's expression suddenly changed.
This statue is so miraculous, and it is actually hidden in the Great Inner Secret Vault. If it really wants to harm the emperor, it would be too easy.
"The statue of the Haotian Sect is the same as the statue of the Wentian Sect." Zhou Wenjing said solemnly: "Therefore, Your Majesty, you must not approach the Great Inner Secret Store again!"
"...This statue is very magical?" Hu Lieyuan was not afraid, but was very interested: "We studied it for a long time, and even Tiangang Palace was dispatched."
They wanted to find out the mystery of the idol.
The statue is unremarkable and has no power fluctuations. It seems to be just a pure decoration and has no power.
Unfortunately, even after the Tiangang Palace was dispatched, they could not find it. No matter how much they searched, it was just an ordinary statue of a god.
"Your Majesty, what I saw is the same." Zhou Wenjing told what happened.
"You haven't been able to move it for several days?" Hu Lieyuan said with a smile: "Interesting...then what do you want to do?"
Zhou Wenjing hesitated: "Wei Chen's idea is to leave it alone for the time being, and just send someone to keep an eye on it to see if there are any changes."
"The statue..." Hu Lieyuan shook his head and said, "Just stare at it, I'm afraid it won't change much in a hundred years."
It’s not that the statues in the Grand Inner Secret Storehouse are not being watched by anyone, they are cleaned by the servants of the Shrine Superintendent every day.
If anything unusual happens, it will definitely happen and we will report it.
But as far as he knew, there had been no news from the Shrine Superintendent, and the statue had long been forgotten by him, almost forgotten.
If Zhou Wenjing hadn't mentioned it this time, I might never have remembered it again.
"If you move it forcibly, I'm afraid there will be unpredictable changes." Zhou Wenjing said with a solemn face: "Your Majesty, if the power of this statue is fully exerted, I am afraid that none of us will be a match."
“Can’t the masters from Fengtian Palace suppress it?”
"It's absolutely impossible." Zhou Wenjing shook her head: "Not even the masters of the four major sects can do it."
"Then...oh, it was Fakong's disciples who took action."
"They were also seriously injured and could barely block a blow. They were still protected by the treasures of Monk Fakong."
"Then after all is said and done, we can only ask Fakong to help?"
"Fakong Divine Monk can take action, so there should be no problem."
"Hey!" Hu Lieyuan said angrily: "... Let's go and see the one in the inner secret library first."
"Your Majesty!" Zhou Wenjing said hurriedly.
Hu Lieyuan said: "No matter how bad I am, I can still protect myself."
"Your Majesty, think twice." Zhou Wenjing said: "Why don't we ask the ministers and the palace supervisors to go and have a look, and then report to the Emperor."
"……Fine."
Although Hu Lieyuan felt that his cultivation was enough to protect himself, but looking at Zhou Wenjing's expression, if he didn't agree, he would definitely kneel down and remonstrate. He was too lazy to pester, so he agreed for the time being.
——
Zhou Wenjing followed an old eunuch as she walked inside, passed the triple palace gate, and stopped outside a palace.
Four old eunuchs stood in front of them, watching indifferently.
The old eunuch handed over the golden order in his hand.
One of the old eunuchs took out a silver token from his arms, put it together with the golden token, and immediately made a clear "ding" sound.
The four old eunuchs nodded with satisfaction and returned the golden order to the old eunuch, their expressions calming down a bit.
The old eunuch looked at Zhou Wenjing.
Zhou Wenjing told her what she wanted to take, and told her to be careful, as this statue might contain powerful power.
The old eunuch holding the silver order turned around and entered the hall, while the remaining three old eunuchs continued to stare at Zhou Wenjing.
After a while, footsteps sounded, and the old eunuch holding the silver order walked out slowly, holding a golden package in his hand. The golden package was taller than him.
He came to Zhou Wenjing, put down the gold package and opened it.
Zhou Wenjing's expression was tense, her whole body was filled with strong energy, and she was ready to take action at any time.
The package was opened, and a statue of a god stood quietly.
The statue was as tall as them and lifelike, as if there was a handsome middle-aged man standing in front of them and smiling at them.
Their expressions changed slightly, and they took a step back in unison, feeling an inexplicable sense of pressure, as if a great master was approaching.
Zhou Wenjing stared solemnly and took a breath.
Fortunately, this statue has no power.
He turned to look at the old man holding the silver order: "Manager Wu, has it been carefully cared for and cleaned?"
The old man Yin Ling frowned, thought for a while and shook his head: "No,... it is placed in the corner, and it is not wrapped.... I just take a look at it every day."
Some treasures cannot be cleaned easily to avoid damage.
Especially statues of gods should not be cleaned frequently, otherwise the paint will peel off or fade over time.
The best way is to look at it from a distance without touching it.
The old eunuch frowned and looked at it: "It is thirty-six years old but the color is intact, just like withering new. There is indeed something wrong."
No one can resist the traces of time. No matter it is people or things, they will leave traces of time.
But there is no trace of time on this statue, which is too abnormal.
Did someone replace it?
This is almost impossible.
Because the person who enters the Great Inner Secret Treasury is often not one person, but several people traveling together, it is impossible to collude to exchange for such a statue.
But there is really nothing eye-catching about this statue. If Zhou Wenjing hadn’t reminded it, it would have been difficult to pay attention to it.
Zhou Wenjing said solemnly: "I want to destroy this statue."
He turned to look at the old eunuch who had brought him here: "Master Zheng."
The old eunuch nodded and slowly raised his palms.
The expressions of the other four old eunuchs changed slightly.
"Do you really want to destroy it?" The old eunuch holding the silver token said solemnly: "This thing is abnormal, can't you figure it out?"
Zhou Wenjing shook her head.
"...Since the Emperor has given it to you, it is up to you to deal with it." The old eunuch holding the silver order said solemnly: "But..."
After all, this was hidden in the inner secret vault. It must be a treasure. If it was destroyed like this, the emperor might regret it and get angry at him.
This is not a whole-body approach.
Zhou Wenjing turned to look at the old eunuch who came with her.
The old eunuch's palms had turned into red gold, and he lightly slapped the statue's head with his palms from the side.
"Bang!" There was a muffled sound, and the old eunuch flew out.
He did a somersault in the air, and after landing firmly on the ground, he stared straight at the statue with a look of astonishment on his face.
The expressions of other people also changed slightly.
They could feel the power of the old eunuch's palms, which were restrained but pure and powerful.
