A few seconds later, he suddenly ordered the general, "Have the Imperial Guards withdraw and immediately welcome these two distinguished guests into the palace and treat them well!"
The general was shocked: "Your Majesty, these two people are of unknown origin, this..."
King of Great Xia: "Do as I say!"
After saying this, the King of Great Xia hurried back to his royal carriage.
A short while later, the King of Great Xia returned to the place where he had just been holding the Dharma Propagation Stone and asked the high monk, "Master, does the Star Array truly exist?"
The high monk said, "The king has already made up his mind; why does he need to ask others?"
The King of Xia immediately returned.
Mu Jin and Maomao rode in a carriage, escorted by a group of Imperial Guards, to the palace.
Cat opened the carriage curtain, and although they traveled non-stop and only briefly glanced at the sights, they still managed to see a great deal of the bustling city of the Great Xia Kingdom.
After much trouble, they arrived at the palace.
The place to stay was nice, but there were many guards outside.
There was no one in the room. Cat finally said, "Ah Jin, you're such a good liar. Even the King of Xia believed you."
Mu Jin simply raised an eyebrow. "I wasn't entirely lying to him. It was half true and half false. We really did come from his grave."
Cat suddenly narrowed her eyes. "Ah Jin, you seem to know the current situation very well."
Mu Jin nodded. "That's right. If I didn't understand, I wouldn't have come."
The cat looked puzzled.
Mu Jin looked at her and said, "The celestial array in the Great Xia King's Tomb is for theft prevention. It is a vertical timeline. Once activated, it will shift to another point in time, but the distance will not be too far."
However, I used the celestial array to get here, and I happen to need to retrieve something to take back.
The cat understood. "What do you want to get?"
Mu Jin suddenly narrowed her eyes, "I can only tell you after I get it."
The cat found this a little strange, but it didn't persist.
She then asked, "What about Xiaobai and Professor Gu?"
Mu Jin: "They're still in the tomb, but they're at a different time. We're moving faster here, so by the time I get back, they'll be back too."
Because the Star Array needs him to activate it.
"Why have we come to the palace? Is what you're looking for here?"
Mu Jin shook her head. "It's not here, but that thing needs to be taken down by the Great Xia King himself... This is the same timeline as our future, so we cannot disrupt its original trajectory."
The King of Great Xia was obsessed with Buddhism and pursued immortality. His exploration of the three thousand worlds never ceased. The Star Array was the culmination of his life's work, and it was ultimately placed in his mausoleum. If I were to mention the Star Array, he would surely be interested.
The cat nodded slowly.
Ah Jin is really cunning.
That evening, the emperor hosted a banquet to entertain the two.
The emperor's food was truly exquisite.
The cat sat down below, head down, eating. She thought to herself that she could tell Old Qiao about the flavors when she got back.
Therefore, Mu Jin took over all the communication tasks.
Mu Jin subtly revealed some things that the King of Great Xia was extremely interested in. As a result, the King of Great Xia found themselves getting along very well with him, and it seemed as if they were having a long talk by candlelight.
The cat yawned; it was already full.
Mu Jin glanced at her, then said to the King of Da Xia, "My wife is tired, I'll take her back first."
The King of Great Xia had long since stopped caring about Mu Jin's always frank and unassuming manner, and in his heart he believed that they were honored guests. At this moment, he said with admiration, "So, you two are a perfect couple. It's only right, I will wait here."
Cat stood up on her own. "Ah Jin, you don't need to see me off. I can find my way back. You two continue chatting."
With that, she left.
The cat wasn't sleepy; it just got sleepy listening to their conversation. It perked up as soon as it came back.
She lightly touched the ground with her toes and landed on the roof, where she lay down to watch the stars.
At this moment, the Ziwei Enclosure was exceptionally bright.
The cat's heart suddenly started pounding!
She was surprised and gently pressed her hand to her chest.
This happened more than a thousand years ago!
If you do the math, at this time, Ah Jin had just gone into seclusion, while she was also in hell!
She hasn't left Hell yet, hasn't caused any trouble on Kunlun Immortal Mountain, and Ah Jin hasn't reversed the star orbit!
If... if she went back and told herself not to leave hell.
Then, does that mean those things won't happen?! Ah Jin won't die, and she won't have to wait another thousand years!
The cat suddenly sat up!
Once the idea appeared, it grew wildly like weeds! It instantly took over her mind!
Her soul mist overflowed, spreading a layer between the tiles. With just a thought, she could return to hell!
But suddenly! She froze!
She could go back and tell herself to avoid so many things happening in the future, but... then what?
Did Ah Jin like her back then?
Ah Jin is so hard to win over! Should she try again? What if she fails...?
She suddenly calmed down.
She put away the soul mist, slowly lay down on the roof, and looked at the twinkling stars of the Purple Rose Enclosure.
For her, a thousand years have already passed, and even if many unpleasant things have happened, there is no need to change anything.
"whee."
Cat suddenly smiled; she and Ah Jin were doing very well now!
Over the next two days, Maomao rarely saw Mu Jin, but she knew where he was.
He became the emperor's tutor!
He's teaching the King of Xia the art of mechanical engineering!
In the original history, the Great Xia King did indeed have many masters of Qimen Dunjia around him, so one more Mu Jin wouldn't make a difference. Besides, Mu Jin knew how to behave appropriately.
On the fifth day, a grand Buddhist ceremony will be held at the Imperial Temple.
