"Lu Chen, you deceived God, played tricks on the princes and ministers, and molested the Princess and Aunt Rong. Your crimes are truly heinous! You will be boiled in a cauldron as a warning to others!"
On the high platform, a eunuch dressed in black read out the verdict in a shrill voice.
Sitting next to the eunuch was a man in his thirties. He was wearing a yellow robe and a crown on his head, looking majestic and inviolable.
Just yawning from time to time proved that his mind was probably not here at the moment.
Lu Chen watched all this in confusion. He was a salesman and was having dinner with a client just a second ago. In order to sign this deal, he drank two bottles of Moutai in one breath. His eyes went dark and when he opened his eyes again, he had already arrived at this place.
"Have I traveled through time?" Looking at the way people around him were dressed, Lu Chen couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
In an instant, a huge stream of information rushed into his brain.
His name is Lu Chen, a Taoist who changed his career halfway. Due to the drought in Da Qi in the past two years, the several acres of land behind the Taoist temple were barren. He had no choice but to go down the mountain to make a living.
At the foot of the imperial city, he saw the imperial edict praying for rain. He was almost starving to death, so he reached out and took down the edict without thinking.
At that time, his thought was very simple. He was going to die anyway, so why not have some fun before dying? At least he could have a full stomach.
For the next period of time, he lived a very comfortable life, and it could be said that everything he asked for was granted.
All kinds of delicacies from land and sea, all kinds of top-grade medicinal herbs, all kinds of beauties, as long as he could name them, the princes and ministers would find ways to satisfy him.
And then, nothing happened.
He is not Sun Wukong, how can he pray for rain?
We have been performing rituals for a whole month, but there has not been any rain, not even a dark cloud.
No matter how foolish the princes and ministers were, they knew they had been deceived! Everyone clamored to boil Lu Chen, and they wanted to skin and bone him.
After reading out Lu Chen's crimes, the eunuch standing on the platform looked at Lu Chen with disgust and said reluctantly, "Lu Chen's death is imminent. Do you have anything else to say?"
Looking at the resentful eyes of the people around him, Lu Chen couldn't help but shudder. His interpersonal relationships were just average.
In fact, Lu Chen could also understand everyone's mood at the moment. After all, as the ruling class of Da Qi, everyone present should consider themselves to be superior.
But such a group of superior people were fooled and mocked by a stinky Taoist priest like him. Anyone would be angry and furious.
"This is killing me! This game is starting to become hellish difficulty!"
The young eunuch asked Lu Chen if he had anything else to say. Of course he had something to say, and a lot!
First of all, why can others sit at the table to divide the world after traveling through time, but why should he be served at the table as soon as he travels through time?
Secondly, what kind of dynasty was this? Why did such a cruel punishment as boiling in a cauldron exist?
It is said that the level of civilization of a country can be seen from its punishment. What you are doing now is a manifestation of barbarism. The local ruling class is really too rude!
Finally, teasing the princess is fine, but what the hell is teasing Rong Mama? Am I really hungry?
Of course, these complaints could only be kept in his heart. Looking at the blazing torches, Lu Chen swallowed hard, forced a smile that was uglier than crying, and looked at the emperor sitting at the top and said, "Your Majesty, can you give me another chance? I want to be a good person."
Emperor Li Zhuo of Da Qi, who was sitting on the throne, waved his hand impatiently.
"I gave you a month, and it hasn't rained in a month. What else do you have to say?" After saying this, Li Zhuo pouted his lips boredly at the eunuch beside him and said, "Execute the sentence. I have other things to do."
The young eunuch winked at the guard who was carrying out the execution. The guard nodded, stepped forward with a torch and was about to light the dry firewood under the cauldron.
Seeing this, Lu Chen was frightened to death.
"Goodness! A living person is being stewed in an iron pot!"
"Wait a minute, Your Majesty, please listen to me again. Do you know where the Heavenly Palace is?"
Lu Chen's words startled everyone present. They thought Lu Chen would beg for mercy again. But who could have imagined that this time he would ask such a question.
After a brief moment of daze, many people looked at Lu Chen in front of them excitedly. Could it be that this Taoist priest could really reveal some shocking secrets in order to survive?
Even Li Zhuo, who was sitting on the throne, couldn't help but open his slightly narrowed eyes.
Seeing this scene, Lu Chen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He was sure that he wouldn't die for the time being.
“Curiosity is a good thing. Sometimes it accelerates the development of science and technology, sometimes it promotes social progress, and sometimes it even saves my life!”
As a salesperson, Lu Chen knows one thing very well: the most critical step in determining whether a customer is willing to buy your product is whether the customer can listen to what you say.
As expected, Li Zhuo sat up straight, looked at Lu Chen with a sharp gaze and said, "Go on, I'm listening."
Legends about gods and immortals have been the most illusory and mysterious things in this land since ancient times.
What's more, most legends about gods and immortals are related to immortality.
As the owner of this land, Li Zhuo felt that he was qualified to know these things.
Lu Chen knew very well that whether he could survive depended on his next performance.
He cleared his throat and said, "There are thirty-six levels in the Heavenly Palace. The first level is 10.89 million feet away from us, and the thirty-sixth level is 12.18 million feet away from us."
