When Wu Lianyi was undergoing her ascension lightning tribulation, her most beloved young disciple tampered with it, causing her to fall under the tribulation lightning. However, before she died, s...
Chapter 325 Smooth Entry into the Palace
Xiao Hui left with a huge mission, while Lianyi began to write the inheritance of talismans and formations. The main reason was that there were no jade slips here, otherwise it would be faster to engrave it directly with spiritual consciousness.
Three days later, Zidai and Zijiang sat cross-legged on Lianyi's Lei Yao sword. It was the first time for them to travel by flying swords. Looking at the huge sword shining brightly under them, the envy in their eyes almost turned into substance. This is the strength of the Jindan period.
Lianyi, on the other hand, was concentrating on controlling the Lei Yao Sword and traveling at the fastest speed.
Three days ago, when she used her own thunder tribulation of advancement to take down some of the evil weapons, Shijiu reminded him that the mission had been advanced by two-thirds, which meant that once she subdued the handle of the evil weapon that was taken to the capital to be sealed, the mission in this world would be completed.
But she always felt that everything went too smoothly, so she kept reviewing the process of her leaving the capital.
Five days later, Lianyi put away his natal sword and took the two of them to the outskirts of the capital, but he was not in a hurry to enter the city.
"You two, the situation is unclear right now. I suggest you don't go see Ziyun right now."
Before Lianyi separated from the two, she gave a piece of advice.
"Thank you Fairy Luyao for the reminder. We'll make a note of it."
Lianyi's figure flashed and disappeared in front of Zijiang and the others.
"Brother, what should we do now?"
"Let's go to the capital first, find a place to stay, and then see what happens!
We just contacted Senior Brother Ziyun eight days ago. If we appear in front of him now, it will definitely arouse his suspicion. With our cultivation level, we are not capable of reaching the capital in such a short time."
Zidai also immediately realized why Luyao asked them not to see Ziyun for the time being. If they went, she would definitely be implicated.
Lianyi went directly to stay at Li's house, which was now a haunted house that could neither be sold nor rented out. In less than half a year, the entire yard was abandoned.
Lianyi went directly to Fanghua Garden and with a few simple gestures, she separated the courtyard into an independent place as her temporary residence.
That night, she sat cross-legged on the roof, looking in the direction of the imperial palace. A purple light flashed in her eyes, and then she found that the golden dragon energy above the inner courtyard of the imperial palace had faded by two points, and two-thirds had been eroded. Judging from the current speed, it would not be long before the dragon energy would disappear completely, and the imperial palace would become a place to strengthen evil weapons.
“What a quick move!”
Ripple sighed.
"Taskmaster, you can walk around the city tomorrow. Perhaps you can enter the palace and find out what's going on that day."
Shijiu suddenly gave a reminder.
"What's the meaning?"
"Do you still remember what happened in Huayue City?"
"Which one specifically?"
Lianyi asked. She had done a lot in Huayue City.
"During the flower viewing festival, there was a prince who claimed that he was good at painting and wanted to paint a portrait of you, but you refused."
"Well, that's what happened, so what?"
"Although you refused, the prince still couldn't stop thinking about you. He painted you with your face covered with a veil. The painting also spread out of Huayue City and was finally seen by the person who was selecting a concubine for the emperor. He was shocked by your beauty and started looking for you. He has been looking for you for more than a month."
".So what you mean is that things have finally returned to the original trajectory. This time it was not the Li family who sent me into the palace, but myself."
".That can't be said. At least you have reversed the situation where you were forced to enter the palace. Now you are entering the palace to complete a mission, and this method is not likely to alert the enemy."
Shijiu said immediately.
Lianyi sighed helplessly, but still accepted Shijiu's suggestion.
"The paintings came from Huayue City. Why would they look for them in the capital? Shouldn't they look for them near Huayue City?"
"They have made rubbings of your portrait, and they are everywhere. As long as you show up, they can find you.
When you arrived at Lingyun City, the maids and attendants did not follow you, and when you were in Ziyun Palace, you did not show up in the city, so no one saw you, so naturally you were not discovered. When you returned to the capital, you flew on a sword, so no one would have seen you. "
"Okay, I got it!"
On the second day, Lianyi covered her face with only a gauze and went to the brokerage office alone, expressing her desire to buy the courtyard of the former Li Mansion.
The people in the pawnbroker were all shrewd, and with Lian Yi's attire, they immediately connected her with the woman in the portrait. In order to get the reward, the pawnbroker calmed Lian Yi down while sending someone to report the news.
"My lady, I don't think you are short of money, so why would you buy that haunted house?"
"How did it become a haunted house? I think the location is good, and people around here also said that the yard has been vacant for half a year."
Lianyi asked knowingly while holding the teacup.
"How could they tell you the truth? Because of this haunted house, their houses have dropped in value, so they will naturally try to coax you into buying the house."
The matchmaker looked like she knew the whole story and told Lianyi to come and ask her, which made Lianyi very happy.
But before the matchmaker could finish explaining the origin of the haunted house, a team of royal guards entered the matchmaker's office. A captain of the guards ran straight towards Lianyi with a portrait in his hand.
Looking at the slightly surprised woman, then at the portrait in his hand, the head guard nodded, then bowed to Lianyi and said:
"Miss, please follow me."
"Big brother, what did I do wrong? Why are you taking me away?"
Lianyi stood up and asked in confusion.
"His Majesty the Emperor wants to see you!"
The captain of the guards didn't want to waste time and directly used his ultimate move.
"Ah? This is me."
Lianyi's beautiful eyes opened wide and she looked incoherent.
"Miss, the sedan chair is outside, please follow us!"
Lian Yi pretended to calm down, then turned to the matchmaker and said:
"My maid has gone to buy me some snacks. We have an appointment to meet at the pawnshop. If she comes looking for me, please let me know where I am."
Lianyi indirectly explained why she was here alone.
"Yes, I have made a note of it."
The matchmaker said immediately, and then watched Lianyi leave.
"Tsk tsk! This young lady is about to fly to the top of the tree."
"Hey, your Majesty is already old enough to know his destiny, and he already has grandchildren. I think that girl can be his granddaughter."
"Be careful what you say! His Majesty is selecting a saint in order to achieve immortality. If this girl is smart, there is still a chance."
The discussion gradually died down.
Lianyi entered the palace in a sedan chair, but it was not so easy to see the emperor. She had to go through a series of examinations.
Lianyi pretended to faint, leaving the eunuchs with no choice but to call the imperial physician for a diagnosis. This was the beauty that His Majesty had been dreaming of since he saw her portrait, so there could not be any mistakes.
After using a little trick to deceive the imperial physician, palace maids and eunuchs, Lianyi followed the trail that night and went to the place where the evil spirit was most concentrated.
"Who are you? Why are you trespassing into my place of retreat?"
A powerful voice sounded.
Then a man with white hair and a youthful face, wearing a black Taoist robe, walked out of a door.
