Chapter 312: Jumping out of the Three Realms, not in the Five Elements, no fate, no luck, no disaster or calamity
Whose human skin is this?
Although Tie Tang had the answer in his mind, he still restrained himself and tried not to have that thought.
If true, it would be too terrifying and even despairing.
The human skin in front of me, wearing a nine-dragon yellow robe, is not shriveled. It seems to be supported by invisible avenues inside, making the robe bulging, just like a real person.
When you look at it from behind... you can't even notice anything. The head above the human skin even has a head full of black hair.
But Tie Tang stood in front of the human skin and could clearly see that there was a big hole in the Dantian, and the eye sockets on his face were also empty, like two bottomless holes.
Through these holes, Tie Tang discovered that there was no trace of flesh, blood, bones, or tendons left in the human skin, and there was no trace of the smell of blood. It was clean.
The face with bulging human skin, except for the disappearance of the eyes, can vaguely see some of its original appearance.
But Tie Tang has never seen the Human Emperor, and does not know what the Human Emperor looks like, so he cannot determine the identity of the human skin.
As the night gets darker, the dragon-shaped candlestick in the northwest corner illuminates the hall.
Tie Tang sat cross-legged in front of the human skin, thinking hard about all the terrible consequences.
"Whether he is the Human Emperor or not, I cannot expose this matter, otherwise the world will be in chaos.
But...
With my cultivation strength, I can't hide it from those old foxes, so what should I do..."
Tie Tang knew very well that the old monsters in the court had better eyesight than the last, and among them there were also veterans who were good at interrogating and solving crimes.
Whether he is the director of the Inspection Department, a divine catcher, or the chief or deputy master of the Supervisory Hall, this is what he eats, and what he does is what he does.
Distinguishing between truth and falsehood, overcoming falsehoods, and knowing the smallest details are all instincts engraved in their bones.
If you want to hide it from these people... you have no chance.
"Is the Human Emperor somewhere else?"
"Maybe this human skin is not him."
Tie Tang glanced at the eucalyptus platform behind the human skin. He knew that this possibility was unlikely, but he still did not give up. He stood up and went to investigate other parts of the Yin Shang Palace.
This hall should be just a place where the emperor reads ancient books and cultivates his moral character on a daily basis. It is not a real place for retreat, let alone a place for daily life.
The setting sun slowly sets in the west, the bright moon rabbit turns to the golden crow, and the cold moonlight shines on the earth.
The lights in the Yin Shang Palace were brightly lit, and the lights ignited spontaneously without wind. There were pearls on the eaves, wall corners, and beams and pillars that shimmered, illuminating this empty palace together.
Tie Tang found another door on the left side of the hall. The two sides outside were still obscured by the vast clouds and mist, and he couldn't see much scenery. There was only one avenue left for him to go forward.
Along this road, through the halls and courtyards, Tie Tang walked through quiet rooms and halls. Not only did he not see the Human Emperor, he didn't even see the shadow of a single person.
"The Human Emperor lives alone... Why did he build the palace so big? Could it be that the Human Queen's Palace is also here?"
Thinking of this, Tie Tang suddenly stopped in his steps.
He is naturally familiar with the name of the Human Emperor, like thunder.
But when it comes to the people around the Emperor...he knows nothing.
"It seems... I have never heard of the Human Emperor ever having a queen, let alone the rumors of the Human Emperor having an heir."
If the Human Emperor had any children left behind, there would be no rumors in the world.
And if there really are princes and princesses, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty will not need me at all. They only need to let them come and take a look to know the current situation of the Human Emperor.
"Is it because they don't want to come...or is there no prince at all?" Tie Tang's head was as big as a bucket. He resented that he knew too little before, and now he came in confused.
However, judging from the eagerness of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty to force him to come, the Human Emperor most likely has no heirs, and may not even have concubines.
Tie Tang threw away his distracting thoughts and continued to parade in the huge Yin Shang Palace.
The area he can go to is limited, and he can't even choose it by himself. He just follows the road, with most of the surrounding areas covered by clouds and fog.
Tie Tang also tried to explore what was behind the clouds, but he couldn't see through it, let alone get through it. There was an invisible barrier that prevented him from moving forward.
The doors of the palaces and pavilions were pushed open by Tie Tang, and they were greeted with disappointment again and again. There was no one else here, and not even a living creature could be seen.
During the continuous search, Tie Tang also learned about the uses of some palaces, most of which were probably used to entertain distinguished guests.
In fact, there are not many places where the Human Emperor has really set foot in and left traces.
Tie Tang discovered three alchemy rooms, two formation buildings filled with talismans, piles of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and all kinds of divine gold, all of which had traces of the human emperor.
Tie Tang was very interested in the elixirs refined by the Human Emperor, the talismans drawn, and the formations laid out.
But he didn't dare to take a single point.
That is too dangerous, and you may die inexplicably.
If he died here...the court meeting in the Purple Yuan Hall below would be open for who knows how long.
Tie Tang came to the door of a large hall again. The plaque above read the three characters "Yu Shu Pavilion".
"Crunch!"
Pushing open the door without much hope, Tie Tang subconsciously walked in.
But at this time.
A strong wind blew up, and the lights swayed everywhere, as if ghosts were haunting them.
"Is there anyone?"
Tie Tang was shocked. He pressed the seal with his hand and was about to use his flying body to leave.
Chi la~
A cluster of dark blue flames suddenly rose.
From Tietang’s left hand.
There is a three-foot brocade roll there, which is written by Taishi Que Huaqing.
Boom!
The flames rose higher and higher. Tie Tang had already reached out and threw the brocade out, otherwise he would have been attacked by the deep blue flames.
It won’t take long.
The three-foot brocade volume turned into fly ash, during which a few black characters seemed to appear. He wanted to do something, but was swallowed up by the flames.
"What's going on?"
Tie Tang's mind was shaken. Dozens of possibilities flashed through his mind in an instant, and he finally settled on one of them.
"Que..."
"Shut up, if you say his name, he will feel something immediately." A sharp voice sounded, like an eleven or twelve-year-old child in the voice-changing stage. It is difficult to distinguish between yin and yang, and there is no distinction between male and female.
"Who?"
Tie Tang's ears trembled, the energy and blood all over his body gathered like a dragon, his eyes glowed purple, and he looked into the depths of Yushu Pavilion.
The sound came from there.
"You ask me who I am, why should I ask you who you are? You are so brave, you broke into the palace without permission, do you know what crime you should be punished for?"
Tie Tang thought for a moment and did not enter rashly. Instead, he bowed towards the pavilion and made his identity and purpose clear.
"Are you the inspector?"
"What's the proof?"
Buzz!
A square official seal appeared, and the one-horned Pixiu appeared as a shadow, jumped out of the official seal, fell to the ground, and walked step by step towards the interior of Yushu Pavilion.
The people inside suspected Tie Tang, and Tie Tang naturally also suspected who was inside.
After all, there is still a piece of human skin out there.
Who knows what weird things happened in the Yin Shang Palace?
"Huh? Do you really have an official seal on you?"
Tie Tang looked down at his court uniform and guessed a possibility: "You can't see me?"
He was wearing the imperial uniform specially used by the inspector to go to court. If the other party could see him, it would be impossible not to recognize him.
"Are there any other messy things on your body? Similar to the one just now?"
Tie Tang slowly shook his head: "That's the submission brought up by the subordinates. Naturally, the lower officials only have one copy."
He had already guessed that Grand Master Que might have made some manipulations in the submission.
"Come in."
Bang!
Tie Tang dropped his foot, and the black moiré official boots seemed to have touched some mechanism. The lights in Yushu Pavilion lit up, smokeless, dustless, colorless and odorless, and no one knew how much grease was burned.
The Yushu Pavilion is very large, filled with bookshelves grouped together. These bookshelves vary in height, material, and the number of ‘books’ placed there are also completely different.
Some bookshelves are made entirely of jasper and have only three floors, with only two animal-skin-like catalogs placed on top of each floor.
Some bookshelves are tall and large, filled with bamboo slips and densely packed ancient books.
What caught Tie Tang's attention the most... was a bronze bookshelf in the northeast corner of the pavilion.
There is an ancient book seven feet long and one foot wide placed on it.
The material of this ancient book looks like gold but not gold, like jade but not jade. It is more like a naturally formed stone with a jade luster on the surface, which makes it look extraordinary.
"How can you, a small seventh-rank official, come to the Yin Shang Palace? Could it be that the court has been so corrupted?"
The sharp voice sounded again, allowing Tie Tang to confirm his guess.
The 'person' who spoke...is the large ancient stone book.
It is not surprising in this world that a book can talk, and Tie Tang is not surprised either, but he was a little surprised for a moment.
Tie Tang walked forward slowly and asked slowly: "You are just a book, but you also care about the affairs of the court?"
"Little guy, who are you looking down on?"
Boom~Boom~
The ancient stone book stood up, faced Tie Tang, and then transformed into a graceful young man wearing a white robe, yellow jade hanging from his waist, and a nose as bold as a gallbladder.
"From the moment I took shape, I was already an immortal, a god. I was born with the body of an overlord, the supreme master of witchcraft.
If it weren't for your status as an inspector, you would be dead just based on what you just said."
Only then did Tie Tang sense the approaching storm.
The young master who is the incarnation of an ancient book across from me seems to have a power beyond his understanding... It is so mysterious that it is difficult to compete.
"I am presumptuous, I dare to ask my senior..."
The incarnation of the ancient book did not answer, but stretched out his hand and wrote the word "ming" in the void, and then asked calmly: "What do you mean when you come to Yin Shang Palace?"
Tie Tang didn't hide it either: "I'm here to meet the Emperor!"
The white-robed incarnation waved his hand casually: "The Human Emperor is wandering in the sky. If he is not here, you can leave."
After hearing this reply, Tie Tang did not pull away. He knew that what the other party said... was mostly perfunctory.
"Senior, you have lived in the palace for a long time, and I am afraid that you don't know the affairs of the human world..."
The air in Yushu Pavilion became cold, and the handsome young master's eyebrows stood up, looking a little angry.
"Are you teaching me how to do things?"
Tie Tang was not afraid, he bowed his hands and spoke truthfully what he was thinking: "The division of the human race is imminent, the dynasty is in danger, and it affects hundreds of millions of people on the earth.
If the seniors know the Human Emperor, they will appreciate the hard work that the Human Emperor has put into this."
The white-robed young master's eyes turned pale with a swipe, and then a three-foot-sized "ming" character appeared in the void, spinning and flying into his head.
The whites of those eyeless eyes flow through endless scenes like a waterfall.
Tie Tang saw himself in it!
"Is this my... destiny?"
Bang!
There was a loud noise.
The white-robed young man stepped back continuously, leaving a drop of gray-white viscous liquid in his right eye, which seemed to be his blood.
It's just that this drop of blood has not flowed very far before it immediately went upstream and returned to the eyes of the ancient book.
"Not in the three realms, outside the five elements, the body is inside, the soul is outside, there is no fate, no luck, no disaster or calamity.
You...are not from this world?" The incarnation of the ancient book pointed at Tie Tang with his right hand, with a look of disbelief on his face, as if he had seen the most bizarre monster in the world.
And the words he said also made Tie Tang's scalp numb and his whole body felt cold, making him want to run away immediately.
One person and one book looked at each other for a long time, and each other was silent.
Finally.
It was the incarnation of the ancient book who spoke first, but he did not mention what happened before.
"I can't leave the palace of Yin and Shang, so naturally I don't know the major events in the world. However, Chaoge's luck has changed recently, and I have also felt it.
Originally, I thought it was some lucky child who came...
Now it seems.
That person must be you without a doubt!"
Son of luck?
Tie Tang couldn't understand what the ancient book said.
He admits that he does have some luck, but there is still a huge gap between the luck of an ordinary genius and the level of a son of luck.
What's more, if his luck is really against the heavens, it's impossible for Tie Long and Tie Hu, who have been staying by his side, not to notice it at all.

"Senior, are you mistaken? Although Tie is very lucky, he is only at the upper-middle level."
"Yes, you are indeed not!" The white-robed young master said contradictory words.
But in the next sentence, he perfected this flaw.
"Such a huge amount of luck cannot be endured by one person. There is no human race in the world with such profound blessings and virtues that can carry such a huge fortune.
But you have a transcendent witchcraft treasure condensed with innate luck, so it’s you.”
After Tie Tang listened quietly, all kinds of treasures he owned flashed through his mind, but he couldn't find the corresponding ones.
The only two possibilities are that the first is the white paper fan given by Thirteenth Prince of the South China Sea. There are some treasures inside that Tie Tang doesn’t recognize and doesn’t know their specific uses.
The second is the cut-off monument between the eyebrows of his Zifu.
The Dou Zhan Boundary Monument is old enough and powerful enough. It is most likely the transcendent witch treasure mentioned in ancient books.
"Okay, you don't have to think too much. That innate luck witchcraft treasure is not something you can control, at least not yet.
Since you are the supervisory envoy...and also considered a close confidant of the Emperor, I cannot get involved in court affairs, so I can only rely on you.
Before you leave, you can go to the southeast corner and pick up the book on the second floor in the third row. It may be helpful to you."
After speaking, the avatar shook his body and returned to his true form, turning into an ancient stone book and lying quietly on the bronze bookshelf.
Tie Tang asked anxiously: "Senior, do you know where the Human Emperor is?"
"The Human Emperor is infinitely more powerful than me. How can I control his movements? Find your own way to deal with those old foxes in the court.
Someone secretly manipulated the previous submission, but he didn't dare to be too arrogant. He inevitably underestimated the power of the formation here and didn't detect anything. Don't worry.
If you come again in the future, remember not to bring anything outside of you."
"Senior, please teach me two moves. What are the breath-holding and changing methods? Otherwise, how can I deal with it?"
The ancient book was as safe as a mountain, and a golden light flashed in the middle of the stone jade cover, revealing a few large characters, but there was no response.
Tie Tang asked several questions in succession, but received no reply, and then he noticed the font on the cover.
"It turns out to be you..."
The ancient stone book, which is seven feet long, has five large Chinese characters with flying dragons and phoenixes written in the middle.
