Chapter 100 Meeting the Emperor
This place is eerie and strange, and what you see with your naked eyes may not be the true scene on the yellow mud ship.
Li Weiyi once again used the Tiantongyan mind technique, and at the same time, all the golden veins on his body emerged, breaking through all illusions and returning to the truth.
In the field of vision, jade-white auspiciousness rises.
The underground river was still dry, but the large yellow mud boat under his feet had turned into a spotless jade boat, more than thirty meters long, with a bright and precious light covering the surrounding sky and earth.
The jade boat is crystal clear and has an exquisite structure, with countless magical instruments and scriptures floating up and down inside.
"This... this looks like the sacred ship that a governor-level figure would use. The decay of the yellow mud ship is just an illusion, not the real thing. This sacred ship must be of a very high level!"
Li Weiyi suppressed his amazement and couldn't help but think about what level of cultivation the governor had reached a thousand years ago. What he had seen before was all an illusion.
The real governor's seal was not placed in a treasure box. Instead, it was as huge as a millstone and more than two meters high. It was placed on the bow of the ship, silently releasing its majestic power.
Purple Cistanche is actually grown on the top of the state herb, and its flesh is crystal clear and fragrant.
The law energy between heaven and earth condensed into visible gaseous streams, which continuously converged on the state governor's seal, and were then absorbed by Cistanche deserticola.
“Swish!”
Li Weiyi swung his sword, cut off a piece of medicinal meat, and handed it to Yin Ershisi: "Take it, give it to Yao Yin to take!"
The ancient skeleton sitting on the ground next to the governor's seal was awakened, and its skull raised and stared at Li Weiyi in front of it. Then, the bones all over its body creaked and it slowly stood up.
Li Weiyi was so frightened that his scalp was about to explode, and he stepped back quickly.
"It is indeed a murderous creature."
It was definitely this half-dead skeleton that led him here.
The skeleton in the purple dragon robe did not show any ferocity after he stood up, nor did he attack. Instead, he straightened his clothes, raised his robe to cover his knees, knelt respectfully in front of Li Weiyi, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Zhu Qinfeng, the governor of Yanzhou, pays homage to the emperor."
The skull fell heavily to the ground with a bang.
His voice sounded a little old, but it didn't come from his mouth. It seemed to come from inside his bones, or between heaven and earth.
If Yin Twenty-four and Yao Yin were not still on the boat, Li Weiyi would have wanted to run away, and he could not hold the sword steadily. This skeleton with a terrifying origin must have been mistaken! Yin Twenty-four could not see the real scene, nor could he hear the real voice. He was holding Yao Yin and feeding her the precious medicine.
Li Weiyi slowly retreated towards them, holding the sword in a defensive posture.
The kneeling skeleton raised his head and said sadly, "After five years of war, Yanzhou fell into the hands of the dead, and darkness swallowed up the light. I led all the soldiers and civilians to defend the city, and fought hard for another three years, but no reinforcements came. Fifteen rescue teams were sent out, but there was no news."
"After three years of siege, there were 132 battles, both large and small. The city ran out of water and food, and only 80,000 soldiers and civilians were left."
"I am guilty! I led 80,000 wounded and disabled people to flee from the ancient underground river, abandoned the city, and the entire Yanzhou fell... Alas... Alas..."
Li Weiyi felt the desolation and sorrow emanating from the skeleton, and heard the helplessness and pain in his tone.
Infected by his emotions, his fear was slightly reduced, and he calmed down, thinking about why the other party would mistake him for the emperor? The emperor in the mind of this Yanzhou governor named Zhu Qinfeng was undoubtedly Chanhai Guanwu.
Why did the other party think he was Chanhai Guanwu? The skeleton kneeling on the ground continued, "After entering the ancient underground river, we were chased by the Jinling army. When we fled here, 80,000 soldiers and civilians died in battle. When I was seriously injured and dying, I left this thought on the official robe of the governor of the state, and I will wait for the emperor to come here and report everything. I will have no regrets even if I die."
After the last sentence was spoken, the shoulders and neck vertebrae of the skeleton cracked at the same time, and then it drooped completely without any sound.
"It turns out that he only has one thought left, waiting for the emperor in his heart."
Li Weiyi's fear was gone, and he was filled with emotion. He walked over and actually felt a bit of admiration in his heart.
We tried our best, but Yanzhou was still lost.
A thousand years of thoughts, just waiting for you, my Lord.
I will take my last breath only when I see you, my Lord.
The spiritual master has been paying attention to the outside world with his telekinesis. A voice came from the Taoist Taiji fish: "If I am not mistaken, Chanhai Guanwu left something on you. That's why Zhu Qinfeng mistook you for her."
Li Weiyi nodded slightly, trying hard to recall the several times he had encountered Chanhai Guanwu, not missing any details.
Even if it stayed, it would be his own blood, absorbed by her.
"What could it be?" he muttered to himself.
The spiritual master said: "Zhen Hai Guan Wu's cultivation is much higher than ours, reaching a level that the three of us cannot fathom. Her methods must be extremely secretive and clever. However, she is very weak at this stage, and your cultivation is improving rapidly. You should be ahead of her. Find her as soon as possible and resolve the hidden danger."
In Li Weiyi's mind, the image of the fairy in red on the tombstone appeared one after another, followed by the white-bone demon in the tomb, and finally the figure of Qi Shanshan.
"They actually did something to me secretly."
Facing a being like Chanhai Guanwu who stood proudly at the top of the world, Li Weiyi felt a lot of pressure in his heart and regarded her as his most powerful enemy. But now was obviously not the time to think about how to deal with her.
How to escape is the most urgent task.
"I see. It's an official robe."
Master Guan's voice suddenly sounded, and he continued, "Zhu Qinfeng's intention borrowed the magic energy in Cistanche deserticola to activate the governor's official robe, and then opened the purple mist channel to lead you here. I was once a governor. Even if the official robe falls into silence, as long as the fire of intention inside is not extinguished, it can be used once or twice."
"Weiyi, put on your official robes and use your telekinesis to detect whether there is any remaining fire of Zhu Qinfeng's mind inside. If there is, use your magic energy to activate it immediately."
Li Weiyi put away his Tiantong Eyes, and the golden veins on his body extinguished and turned dark.
The brilliant jade boat beneath his feet suddenly turned into a large yellow mud boat, making it difficult to distinguish what was real and what was illusory.
Li Weiyi bowed three times before squatting down and quickly taking off the purple official robes on the skeleton. He raced against time and shouted, "Take Yao Yin with you and get off the boat first and wait for me!"
Yin Twenty-four didn't understand what was going on, but guessed that Li Weiyi must have found a way to escape, so he immediately picked up Yao Yin and jumped off the yellow mud boat.
Li Weiyi quickly put on the purple official robe.
The front and back of the garment are embroidered with cloud and dragon patterns, the cuffs are wide and decorated with silver buckles, and around the waist is a wide brocade belt inlaid with exotic gemstones and jade pendants.
The official robe can automatically shrink and relax according to the wearer's body shape.
“Wow!”
Li Weiyi put on his official hat, clasped his hands together, and released telekinetic energy into his official robe.
Using telekinesis to perceive, suddenly, an empty and dark world inside the official robe appeared in his sea of consciousness. In the darkness, he could see the sporadic remaining fire of Zhu Qinfeng's mind quickly dissipating and extinguishing.
"Great! As long as these fires of telekinesis are not completely extinguished, the official robe can be activated once more."
Li Weiyi jumped off the yellow mud ship. Without caring about being exposed, he activated the spatial power of the Buddha's relics and stored the entire ship into the blood mud space.
Yin Twenty-four was stunned when he saw the large yellow mud ship disappear out of thin air.
Li Weiyi shook his arms, and magic power gushed out from eight springs in his body and poured into his official robe.
The empty space inside the official robe was like a bottomless pit that could never be filled.
Seeing Zhu Qinfeng's fire of will quickly extinguished, Li Weiyi was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead and shouted, "What are you standing there for? Come and help me. Inject all the magic energy in your body into the official robe."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Yin Twenty-four came to his senses, stepped forward without saying a word, pressed his palm on Li Weiyi's back, and injected a surge of magical energy into him.
"No, the governor's robe has become silent, and I can't inject my magical energy into it," she said.
"Then why can I?"
Li Weiyi muttered to himself, his eyes suspicious, and thought to himself: "Could it be related to the thing that Chanhai Guanwu left in my body?"
Without time to think about it, Li Weiyi performed the Yuxu Breathing Method, pushing the eight springs in his body to the extreme. His body was completely illuminated by the magic power, and the magic energy turned into brilliant clouds that swirled around him.
“His magical power and spiritual energy are actually entering the official robe of the governor. Could he be the descendant of Chanhai Guanwu? But I haven’t heard that Chanhai Guanwu has a Taoist partner, so how could he have descendants?” Yin Twenty-Four was puzzled.
"boom!"
Wisps of purple mist overflowed from the official robe and turned into purple clouds.
Li Weiyi showed an expression of ecstasy on his face and shouted: "Follow me!"
Pulling up Hidden Twenty-Four, the three of them disappeared into the purple mist.
“Wow!”
The next moment, the three returned to the pitch-black spider cave.
The sound of flowing blood river underground came to my ears.
Yin Twenty-four took out a blood-colored gem, illuminated the surroundings, and let out a long sigh of relief: "Finally, we are back! How did you do it? How did you know that the governor's robe could bring us back? How can your magic power activate it?
Inside the official robe, the fire of Zhu Qinfeng's consciousness was completely extinguished, and Li Weiyi's magic power could no longer be injected into it.
The purple mist shrouding the official robes quickly dissipated.
Li Weiyi did not respond to Yin Ershisi's question immediately, but looked around. The Ash Region had disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared. If he had not been wearing the official robes of the governor, he would even suspect that everything was an illusion.
On the stone wall in front, there is a cave as big as a face.
The cave is surrounded by spider webs.
He could sense the aura fluctuations of the Four-Winged Spider King in the cave, hiding very deep inside.
The Four-Winged Spider King was intelligent and sensed the aura of the Five Seas Realm martial artist, so he hid inside and did not dare to come out.
Li Weiyi shook his head in disappointment. He had learned the insect language from Master Lingwei and was ready to subdue the Four-winged Spider King and give it to Senior Sister Cai. But it didn't dare to show its head. It turned out that the vicious insects also bully the weak and fear the strong.
Riding on a small boat, driven by the hidden twenty-four Dharma energies, he returned upstream.
After exiting the spider cave, Li Weiyi had already taken off his official robes and folded them neatly. He said in a calm but threatening tone: "Everything you saw today must be kept to yourself. If a third... fourth person finds out, you should know the consequences."
Yin Twenty-four stood at the bow, frowning, "Is that all you said? I feel like if your secret is leaked out, it will cause a storm in the martial arts world."
"You can try to tell Yin Jun! I promise that I will live well, but you may not!" Li Weiyi added: "Not killing to silence the witnesses is not because I am soft-hearted, but because I trust you."
Yin Twenty-Four's heart was slightly rippled, but he immediately suppressed the corners of his mouth that were raised, and said in a deep voice: "I feel a little uneasy. This matter is strange, especially since the Ashes Region doesn't seem to be too far away. I should report it to Lord Yin."
Li Weiyi certainly didn't believe that with his current cultivation level and the power of his official robe, he could cross such a long underground space.
Therefore, I agree with her point of view that the ash area is likely nearby.
"Then let's make up a story, get a pair of confessions first, and then tell him what we can tell Yin Jun."
Li Weiyi was a little worried about Yin Twenty-Four, so he added, "Yin Jun was the hidden god of the last sixty years, and I am the hidden god of this sixty years. You must obey me, not him."
Yin Twenty-four rolled his eyes and wanted to tell him that he was not yet a hidden god.
Li Weiyi noticed that Yao Yin's eyeballs moved, so he said, "Since you're awake, don't pretend. Let's make a confession together. You are most likely Hidden Twenty-Six, and you have to obey me from now on. You should know better than me what the consequences of betraying the Hidden God are."
Yao Yin sat up. The ice cracks on her skin had all disappeared, and she became moist and delicate again. The medicinal power of Cistanche deserticola did suppress the coldness in her body. She said in a pleasant and beautiful voice: "Okay, Yao Yin swears to be loyal to Master Shenyin until death."
Li Weiyi nodded with satisfaction.
"What a great official power! No wonder they say that people who wear official robes will never be able to take them off for the rest of their lives!" Yin Twenty-Four said coldly in a sarcastic tone.
