After nightfall, Song Zheng quietly left the inn alone.
On a long autumn day, Xuan Zhigu and others were at a loss for sleep, sleeping very peacefully. Song Xiaotian turned over and muttered in a daze: "Bad dad, don't take others with you when you go out to play."
Song Xiaosheng opened his eyes suddenly and found that his father was plain and had no evil aura to do bad things, so he lost interest.
The informants arranged by the major forces around him naturally did not have the ability to see through Song Zheng's whereabouts. He strolled to the palace and walked in. He stepped over the high palace wall and groups of patrolling soul warriors passed by him.
, but happened to miss him by the slightest bit.
Song Zheng walked all the way to the royal study of the true emperor, where Gui Beiding was waiting for him. He smiled slightly and was not surprised: "Sir, I am a true believer. Please come with me."
There is a medium-sized underground palace underground in the imperial study. After passing through several thick portals, he led Song Zheng to a narrow stone room. There was a cluster of huge crystals in the stone room, which was as tall as a person and transparent.
Holding a bamboo slip.
Gui Beiding said: "My ancestors who returned home discovered this treasure and built a city on the ground, which eventually became today's Tianlong City. This cloud preacher was born and sealed in this crystal mountain.
There are dozens of feet below, and it is connected to an earth vein. If you want to steal it, once you break the crystal, it may cause thousands of miles of surrounding earth veins to move abnormally, and you will be discovered immediately.
And because of the passage of time, the Cloud Sending Letter and the crystal have been completely integrated into one. Once the crystal is broken, the Cloud Sending Slip is likely to be broken as well."
Song Zheng was also secretly amazed and couldn't help but nodded.
Gui Beiding added: "If you want to gain enlightenment, sir, you only need to press your hands on the crystal and release the spiritual energy. Sir, you have seven days, so I won't bother you. I have to go out and make the final arrangements."
Song Zheng waved his hand gently and let him go out.
After Gui Beiliu left, he carefully observed this Yunzhang Taoist Slip. It was very similar to the one Xuan Zhigu presented to him before, but even standing here, he could feel it.
The bamboo slips also contain enough energy!
Maybe it's because it's sealed by a crystal, so the energy inside it dissipates much slower.
He observed for a while and confirmed that there was nothing abnormal in the crystal. Then he stepped forward and put a hand on it, and the spiritual energy penetrated in. There was a soft popping sound, and he felt that his consciousness entered a realm.
In the vast void.
There are various mysteries presented here, and there is the most in-depth and basic analysis and explanation of the composition of the entire world. In Song Zheng's eyes, it is the endless sea of stars, wrapped outside the sea of stars, is the deepest darkness.
And Song Zheng understood very well that different people should have different "seeings" when they enter such a void, and the ancestors of this world saw the use of spiritual energy to fight against the sky and the earth, and to expel spirits.
beast, a way to build a city to protect the people.
He can see the sea of stars because he originally came from the sea of stars and knows what the heavens and worlds are like.
He contemplated it silently and suddenly frowned. Because this void was incomplete, yet it could appear boundless at the beginning, which was enough to prove that the evangelist in the clouds was in heaven back then.
It is also an extremely valuable treasure. I am afraid it is a treasure that a being of the Jade Emperor's level carries with him.
However, the improvement that a Cloud Sword can give Song Zheng is very limited now. With a thought in his heart, he took out his own one.
Gui Beiding said he would give him seven days, but did not say how many times he would be allowed to realize it. He pasted Xuan Zhigu's Yun Shang Taoist Slip on the crystal, and the spiritual energy pulled the energy of the one inside to flow.
come out.
Yuan Neng injected the second Cloud Sword, and this time the void in front of him suddenly shook, and the two Cloud Slips echoed, making the entire void suddenly become deeper and broader.
Song Zheng couldn't help but be surprised. The two cloud slips gave him an indescribable inspiration. Combined with his previous understanding of the most subtle aspects of the entire universe, his strength in this world has been further improved.
He has faintly touched the barrier that restricts the use of Yuan energy in this world.
With this understanding, although he still cannot use Yuan energy, he can further analyze and change some of his previous magical powers and spells, and activate them with spiritual energy.
In other words, the ability to turn magical powers and spells into this world.
He couldn't help but smile, looking at the deep sea of stars in front of him and slowly retreating. He didn't withdraw on his own initiative. He really wanted to comprehend it again, but the Yuan energy in Jian Zhong's message from the cloud was exhausted.
Gui Beiding believes that the royal family's cloud-based Taoist Slip can be comprehended at least three times, but that is for ordinary people to comprehend. Song Zheng's comprehension consumes a lot of energy because of the huge star sea displayed, and he even more
The Yuan energy inside was drawn out and injected into the second bamboo slip, so that the stored Yuan energy was completely consumed.
Song Zheng was a little apologetic, thinking about how to make amends and return home in the future.
…
The Tianlong True Emperor, who was at his peak in the Spring and Autumn Period, suddenly passed away. When the news spread, cities and towns were shocked.
Almost everyone immediately thought that wherever the emperor decides, he will lead to the abdication of the true emperor.
Tianlong City is immersed in grief. At least the grief of ordinary people is real. Gui Beiding treats the people very kindly. In his Tianlong City, ordinary people's tax burden is extremely low and their lives are stable and happy.
No one knows what the successor will be like. But the big families were shocked when they saw the imperial edict: the throne was passed to Guibiliu! That traitorous official must have colluded with Song Zheng to kill His Majesty the True Emperor and forged it.
edict!
This chaotic usurper deserves death!
When Gui Beiding was alive, the ministers were more interested in one of his nephews, Gui Weiyuan, the sixth son of Gui Beiding's father and the eldest son of Zhaoxing King Gui Beixing.
Gui Weiyuan's intelligence, studiousness, and benevolence were shown by his ministers. In the eyes of his ministers, he was indeed a wise master. He was also a direct bloodline of the royal family, far better than Gui Beiliu.
Those ministers were busy attending to the funeral, but in fact, some people had taken advantage of the opportunity to secretly communicate with each other, hoping to capture Gui Beiliu and support Gui Weiyuan as the leader.
…
In the palace of Prince Zhaoxing, Gui Beixing told his son in the secret room: "Don't go out recently. My father has hired two powerful men at the True Saint level to protect you. Your safety is the most important thing now."
"Gui Beiliu must regard you as a thorn in his side and want to get rid of you as soon as possible."
"You don't have to worry about things outside. My father will help you arrange everything. Just wait for the yellow robe to come on!"
Gui Weiyuan was excited, but still a little worried: "Father, can we really succeed this time?"
"Don't worry, Guibeiliu is a traitor and a regicide. My father has contacted us in advance. At least 70% of the courtiers support us. This is what the people want!"
Gui Weiyuan felt much more at ease. There was a huge dragon chair floating in front of him. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and said: "Everything is arranged by the father."
Gui Beixing nodded and came out, saying to the other true saints outside: "Please, please."
He thought of the king's reward, and the eagerness and fervor in his heart became a little more intense. He actually couldn't wait and couldn't wait to start immediately!
After all, Tianlong City was not as good as the Hongwu Celestial Dynasty. The emperor's funeral was much smaller in scale, but it was also extremely complicated. After three days of preparation, a huge funeral procession was assembled in the early morning of the fourth day.
He wandered out of the city.
Thirty miles outside the city, there is an imperial mausoleum built against a mountain with beautiful scenery. All the Tianlongzhen Emperors of the past dynasties are buried there.
Along the way, the cold wind was blowing, and the people knelt down and cried loudly. After the complicated ceremony, Gui Beiding was sent to the imperial mausoleum. There was also a huge land sealing project, but the ministers could already bid farewell to their late master and greet them.
A new king has been established.
The ministers returned to the palace in tears all the way back to the palace. These face-saving things must be done enough.
The main hall of the Tianlong City Palace is called "Canglong Hall", which is no less impressive than the Yonghe Hall in Yong'an City. More than a hundred important ministers stood in the hall, and an internal official asked for the posthumous edict to be read out. Before it was finished, trouble broke out.
There was a military general who believed that he was at the level of a true saint. He took a step forward and shouted loudly: "There are many doubts about the death of the late emperor, and Guibeiliu is the biggest suspect. I request a thorough investigation of this matter. Before the truth is revealed, Guibeiliu
Not qualified to be the true emperor!"
Someone took the lead, and the crowd suddenly became excited. The courtiers were noisy, objecting to Guibeiliu's succession, and even insulted him on the spot.
Gui Beiliu stood at the forefront of all the courtiers, lowering his head and saying nothing. Listening to the noisy voices behind him, it seemed that everything they said had nothing to do with him.
He knew all the plans of the emperor. He was going to be the emperor, but he couldn't be happy because he knew that the emperor was really going to die. His heart felt like a knife cutting him!
The internal official who read out the edict was Zhou Mou, the most trusted eunuch of Gui Beiding.
He held the edict high in his hand and shouted: "This edict was written by the six most important ministers of the imperial court before your majesty passed away. How dare you question it?"
The True Saint General shouted: "Six important ministers saw it with their own eyes? Is this really true?"
The six old men in front of the courtiers were wearing purple official robes and white clothes. At this time, they all shook their heads: "Your Majesty was probably unconscious at the time..."
As soon as this statement came out, the courtiers became even more noisy: "So that's it!"
"Gui Beiliu must have secretly controlled the late emperor, and maybe he colluded with the soul-eating demon ants!"
Zhou Mou laughed loudly and said in a sharp voice: "It's just as your Majesty expected!" He suddenly turned around and knelt down: "Welcome to your Majesty!"
The ministers were suddenly silent: What do you mean, which majesty are you greeting?
Just when he was doubting, Gui Beiding stepped out from the side door and looked around at everyone: "You are such good ministers!"
The ministers stood dumbfounded: They saw him buried with their own eyes, what is going on?
Gui Beixing gritted his teeth and stood up: "You are teasing the ministers and the world on such a big matter. Gui Beiding, you are rebellious and unworthy of sitting on the throne of the true emperor!"
Several of the six important ministers looked at each other and stood up together: "Your Majesty's move is grossly inappropriate. I ask your Majesty to abdicate and truly die!"
"Since I dare to do this, of course I have calculated your reaction accurately. But even if I die, I will give Tianlong City a clean court!" He raised his hand gently, and a powerful aura surged from outside the hall.
, Human Saint, True Saint, even has the aura of a Yuan Saint!
But Gui Beixing was calm and composed. When he shook his body in the hall, a surge of momentum burst out. He was already the Yuan Sheng!
Four of the six important ministers also stood up. The old aura on their bodies disappeared, replaced by the huge power of the Life Soul Warriors. They were all true saints!
