Chapter 125 Taoist Qinglian, His Majesty has been waiting for you for five thousand years
Copy: Ancient Xiu's Tomb, inside the tomb chamber.
"Time has changed. I never thought that I would have to die many times to deal with the Qingxuan puppet before, but now I can deal with it without much effort."
"Unconsciously, I am indeed much stronger than before..."
Lu Chen looked at the Qingxuan puppet in the tomb that he had easily eliminated, his tone full of emotion.
Thinking back to the first time he came to this copy a few months ago.
But he was taught a good lesson by the Qingxuan puppets in front of him.
I know what it means to use the majority to bully the minority, and what it means to defeat the master with a random punch.
But now the offense and defense have changed, and it has only been a short four months.
The person is still the same person, and the puppets are still the same puppets.
But the person attending the class turned out to be him, Lu Chen!
Do you understand what it means for a high-level player to return to the novice village? [You killed a Qingxuan puppet and gained 35 experience points...]
[You killed a...]
"Although I don't have much experience, a mosquito is still meat, no matter how small it is."
Lu Chen looked at the flickering game panel, sighed for a moment, and then walked out of the tomb.
As soon as he went out, the familiar Qi training stage corpse outside the door immediately attacked him.
In this regard, Lu Chen didn't even need to do anything at the moment. He just looked at it calmly.
A raging purple flame burned on the body of the Qi training stage corpse, and it turned into ashes with a scream.
[You killed a Qi training stage corpse (Qi training stage fifth level), and gained 70 experience points, Soul Crystal Fragment (white) * 1]
Without staying too long, Lu Chen skillfully dealt with all the remaining corpses in the underground palace.
Then they arrived at the gate of the underground mausoleum where Ye Chenglin was.
When the door opened, Lu Chen saw the familiar figure again.
But unlike the first time, Lu Chen felt that Ye Chenglin this time was a little strange.
If I had to describe it, it would be the first time Lu Chen saw Ye Chenglin.
Although the other party had turned into a magical corpse, he could still feel the humanity from Ye Chenglin.
But for some reason, Ye Chenglin no longer had that feeling.
It was as if what appeared before Lu Chen was just a piece of cold data that had been designed.
Not only are his eyes dull, but his expression is also mechanical.
"Who are you?"
Ye Chenglin looked at Lu Chen who walked into the mausoleum, and asked Lu Chen with an expressionless face as before.
The words were clearly the same, but this time Lu Chen felt more awkward than ever before.
Because before, he could still see doubt on Ye Chenglin's face, which was very human.
But this time, he could not see any expression fluctuation on Ye Chenglin's face, as if he was just asking for the sake of asking.
It's like the acting skills of an 18th-tier young actor, his whole body exudes the word "hard".
Not knowing what he was thinking of, Lu Chen looked at Ye Chenglin at this moment and said in a complicated tone: "...It seems that you are no longer the old Ye I am familiar with."
As he spoke, Lu Chen walked towards Ye Chenglin.
In response, Ye Chenglin didn't say much, he just stood up and launched an attack.
Just like before, although Ye Chenglin only had one arm, he was still able to perform the exquisite talisman technique.
It’s a pity that Lu Chen is no longer the same as before.
He didn't even have to dodge the thunder talisman that he had to be careful to dodge before, but now he didn't even have to dodge it.
Pah! Facing the flying talisman, Lu Chen casually slapped it away, as if he was just slapping away harmless snowflakes.
After seeing that the thunder talisman had no effect on Lu Chen, Ye Chenglin immediately wanted to use some other talismans.
But just as he was about to draw other talismans, Lu Chen's figure disappeared instantly, and when he appeared again, he had already arrived in front of Ye Chenglin.
Looking at Ye Chenglin, who had an expressionless face in front of him, Lu Chen whispered, "Goodbye, Old Ye."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chendang lightly hit Ye Chenglin on the chest.
This ordinary palm strike not only sent Ye Chenglin flying backwards immediately.
The body was wrapped in a ball of purple flame and soon turned into ashes.
[You defeated the Foundation Establishment Stage Dharma Corpse·Ye Chenglin, you gained 3000 experience points, you gained Soul Crystal Fragment (Green)*1, you gained the Ten Thousand Symbols True Solution·Fragment*1...]
Lu Chen did not look at the game panel, but looked towards the end of the mausoleum with a deep gaze, as if he had discovered something.
When he first entered the dungeon, he had neither reached the Foundation Establishment Stage nor learned the Green Lotus Pupil.
As a result, he did not notice that there was a part of the wall behind Ye Chenglin that was covered by a formation.
Now that I have discovered this, I think that must be the special tomb that the 'Mysterious Tomb Key' needs to open...
Thinking of this, Lu Chen walked straight towards that place.
Soon, he came to the strange wall.
Before Lu Chen could think about how to break the formation, new information popped up on his system panel.
[You have discovered a new instance, the Imperial City Mausoleum. You can use the 'Imperial Mausoleum Key' to open a special instance... the Great Yan Imperial Mausoleum.]
Looking at the special item in the system package, it changed from the original 'Mysterious Tomb Key' to the 'Imperial Tomb Key'.
Lu Chen looked thoughtful.
The key to the imperial mausoleum is the mausoleum of the Great Yan Imperial City.
There is no doubt that the next place he will go is the Great Yan Dynasty.
I thought that the first stop of my main quest in the game was the Great Yan Dynasty.
Lu Chen suddenly became curious about what might happen next in this copy.
Is there any mysterious connection between the two?
[You used the 'Imperial City Tomb Key', the teleportation array is activated...]
As the "Imperial City Tomb Key" disappeared, Lu Chen found that the formation wall in front of him disappeared.
Instead, there was a strange black vortex.
Without thinking too much, Lu Chen immediately strode into the black vortex...
[Special copy: Da Yan Imperial City Mausoleum]
[Minimum requirement: Foundation Building Stage 1]
[Description: After five thousand years of changes, the Great Yan Imperial City has been completely occupied by the evil. In order to protect the last pure land of the Great Yan Dynasty, the Great Yan royal family retreated to the underground mausoleum after being instructed by an expert. Except for the last emperor of the Great Yan royal family, Ji Ling'er, the rest of them volunteered to become ghost soldiers and ghost generals to fight against the continuous invasion of the ancient evil...]
[Note: Special dungeons will disappear completely after you clear them. The dungeon rewards depend on how well you complete the dungeon.]
When Lu Chen opened his eyes again, what came into view was a huge underground palace.
The place where he appeared was exactly in front of the outer gate of the palace.
When the two ghost soldiers guarding the gate saw him appear, they strangely knelt down on the spot, behaving very respectfully, as if they knew him.
In response to this, Lu Chen looked at the panels of the two ghost soldiers curiously.
[Dayan Dynasty·Dongying Ghost Soldiers]
[Cultivation: Qi training stage 4]
[Features: Due to special reasons, these ghost soldiers can be resurrected infinitely after death, but cannot act in the sun]
Ghost soldiers who can be resurrected infinitely?
Lu Chen looked at the two ghost soldiers in surprise, wondering if they were the only ones who could be resurrected infinitely, or if all the ghost soldiers and generals in the imperial mausoleum of the Great Yan Dynasty were like this.
If only all ghost soldiers and generals could be resurrected infinitely.
That was based on what Lu Chen learned after sweeping with his spiritual sense.
The combat potential contained in this Great Yan Emperor's Mausoleum... is too exaggerated!
Because he sensed the breath of at least tens of thousands of ghost soldiers inside this mausoleum.
Not to mention the ghost generals in the foundation-building stage.
Just as Lu Chen was thinking about what he should do, the tightly closed palace door suddenly opened.
Not long after, an ancient female ghost wearing armor, a half-golden mask, and a square flag on her back, riding a skeleton horse, slowly stopped in front of the city gate.
Because he didn't sense any hostility from the other party, Lu Chen didn't attack her immediately, but looked at the other party's panel.
[Great Yan Dynasty, General of the Golden Army, Lan Yan]
[Cultivation: Ghost Pill Stage 5]
[Features: The last general who protected the country in the Great Yan Dynasty, who was transformed into a ghost general for special reasons and is immortal]
An ancient ghost general in the Ghost Pill Stage?
Looking at the opponent's panel, Lu Chen immediately became fully prepared.
Because this powerful ghost general can completely threaten him now.
However, what surprised Lu Chen was that the female ghost named Lan Yan rode her horse to within five steps of Lu Chen.
He immediately got off his horse and walked to Lu Chen.
Then, in front of Lu Chen's surprised eyes, she took off her helmet and half-knelt in front of him.
"My daughter Lan Yan respectfully welcomes Taoist Qinglian."
"I hope you won't mind that I meet you again in such an ugly ghost body."
Hearing the other party's words, Lu Chen frowned and asked: "You... know me?"
Hearing this, Lan Yan seemed to have expected this, and said calmly: "Everything is indeed as the Taoist said a thousand years ago. Now you can no longer remember us, let alone what happened a thousand years ago..."
Lu Chen thought for a moment and asked again: "What else did I say before?"
Lan Yan replied, "The Taoist priest once said that if we meet again and find that he has lost his thousand-year memory, then we should not talk too much about it and just talk about what happened after he left."
"Because by then, the Taoist priest will once again lead our Great Yan Dynasty out of the predicament, just like he did a thousand years ago."
Hearing this, Lu Chen frowned even more tightly.
Because even though it was just a few words, he still heard a lot of different information.
For example, now he seems to be talking to the ghost general Lan Yan, but in fact he is talking to himself a thousand years ago.
This way of communication that transcends time made countless possibilities emerge in Lu Chen's mind.
Although Lu Chen had a lot of thoughts at this time, he understood one thing.
That was his self a thousand years ago telling him not to try to understand what happened a thousand years ago, and just keep everything as normal.
Because once he knew those things, it might have an impact on the situation thousands of years ago.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen decided to trust his own judgment from a thousand years ago.
"Lead the way, and tell me what happened here."
Lan Yan nodded and put her helmet back on.
"Master, please follow me. I'd better let His Majesty tell you in person what will happen a thousand years later. After all, His Majesty... has been waiting for you for five thousand years."
Five thousand years?
When Lu Chen heard this astonishing time span, he couldn't believe it for a moment.
Because according to his previous inferences, the ancient tomb is only about fifteen to three thousand years away from the era in his game.
But now it seems that not every copy has the same timeline.
The eras of different copies may be very different.
This is brand new information.
Under Lan Yan's guidance, Lu Chen soon arrived at the depths of the imperial mausoleum.
Along the way, Lu Chen quickly saw the layout of the underground palace.
The entire underground palace was empty except for the main hall in the distance.
The remaining four directions of east, south, west and north were filled with large numbers of soldiers and mercenaries.
And in these four directions, there is a very huge eternal lamp.
Although Lu Chen couldn't figure out the function of these eternal lamps.
This can be seen from the intricate patterns on these eternal lamps and the special aura they emanate.
Not only are these eternal lamps not ordinary objects, their placement is certainly not random.
Combined with the fact that all the ghost soldiers and generals, including Lan Yan, have the characteristics of immortality.
Lu Chen felt that the reason why they could be resurrected infinitely might be closely related to the four eternal lamps around them.
However, whether this is true or not will only be known after he meets Ji Ling'er, the last emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty.
Under Lan Yan's guidance, Lu Chen quickly crossed the square in front of the underground palace.
Every soldier and mercenary that appeared in this square had a cultivation level above the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Lu Chen took a quick look and saw that there were at least hundreds of them.
As for the four soldiers and mercenaries standing in the front, their aura had even reached the Ghost Pill Stage.
From left to right, they are the sword general, bow general, spear general, and sword general.
Therefore, rather than saying that they are mercenaries, it would be more accurate to say that they are general figurines.
Every time Lu Chen and Lan Yan passed by a mercenary, one of them would resurrect in the form of a ghost and kneel down in front of them.
Therefore, when Lu Chen and Lan Yan walked to the door of the imperial palace, all the ghost soldiers and generals in the entire underground palace were resurrected.
This also includes the four ancient ghost generals in the Ghost Pill Stage.
Facing the kneeling ghost soldiers and generals in the square, Lu Chen looked expressionless, but he was actually a little nervous inside.
Because it was clearly the first time he met these people.
But it was as if they had known him for a long time.
This huge information gap made Lu Chen feel like he had met a group of so-called "acquaintances" after losing his memory. He had an inexplicable sense of disobedience.
Therefore, the short road of a few hundred meters in front of the main hall of the imperial mausoleum was the longest road Lu Chen had ever walked.
Fortunately, all questions will be answered soon.
As Lan Yan pushed open the door of the main hall, a strange golden coffin locked in the air in the hall by four chains immediately came into his sight.
And under the strange coffin, there was a huge pool of blood.
After a careful look, Lu Chen discovered that the four chains connecting the golden coffin seemed to correspond exactly to the directions of the four eternal lamps surrounding the imperial palace.
[Name: Immortality Coffin]
【quality:???】
【Effect:???】
Looking at the coffin of immortality, Lu Chen didn't know what to do for a moment.
While he was hesitating, Lan Yan directly lit the four lamps in the west of the hall.
The next second, all the other lamps in the hall seemed to have set off a chain reaction and were lit up one after another.
It was only then that Lu Chen discovered that this place that looked like a palace hall on the outside was actually arranged like an ancient ancestral hall on the inside, with densely packed plaques all around the hall.
However, although this place seems to be a gloomy place on the surface, Lu Chen did not feel the slightest bit of coldness here.
Instead, there is an inexplicable feeling of warmth, as if the surroundings are full of vitality.
This feeling of harmonious coexistence of life and death made Lu Chen somewhat uncomfortable.
Weird, this place is really weird.
rock!
With the sound of chains shaking, the Immortality Coffin that was originally hovering in the air fell steadily into the pool of blood without splashing any blood.
Then, bluestone slabs began to emerge from the originally scarlet pool of blood.
These bluestone slabs are connected to each other, eventually forming a path leading to the Coffin of Immortality.
Looking at the bluestone road, Lan Yan said, "Master Qinglian, please wake up His Majesty yourself."
After hearing Lan Yan's words, Lu Chen thought for a moment and then took the initiative to walk towards the coffin of immortality.
Soon, they arrived at the coffin of immortality.
Looking at the tightly fitted golden coffin in front of him and the familiar golden dragon carving on the coffin.
Lu Chen always felt as if he had seen a similar pattern somewhere.
"Master Qinglian, please drip a drop of blood on the coffin."
Just as Lu Chen was thinking, Lan Yan spoke again.
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen immediately took out his Mo Jiao Sword and slashed it across his palm.
Tick-tock…
When his blood fell on the Immortality Coffin, the originally dim Immortality Coffin immediately vibrated.
Soon, the golden dragon carving on the coffin came to life.
Then the originally tightly closed Immortality Coffin slowly opened, revealing a figure inside the coffin.
I saw a woman who looked only in her prime.
The woman had a beautiful face, and was wearing a red dragon robe, a gilded crown on her head, and her hands were crossed in front of her chest.
Although he was just lying in the coffin with his eyes closed, Lu Chen could still feel the other person's elegant and noble temperament in an instant.
If Shangguan Yunmeng is a ethereal fairy detached from the mundane world.
The last empress of Dayan who appeared in front of Lu Chen at this time was the most beautiful woman in the world standing at the top of the mortal world.
There is nothing wrong with the words "stupefyingly beautiful" when applied to her.
Just as Lu Chen was thinking about what to do next.
He suddenly saw the eyebrows of Ji Ling'er, the Queen of Yan, who was lying in the coffin of immortality, move slightly.
After a while, Ji Ling'er opened her eyes completely.
And when she saw Lu Chen next to the Immortal Coffin.
Ji Linger's originally majestic demeanor was instantly broken.
While Lu Chen was stunned, the other party not only sat up directly, but also hugged Lu Chen who was beside the Immortality Coffin.
W-What's going on?!
Ji Ling'er's sudden "throwing herself into his arms" caught Lu Chen off guard.
Lu Chen who could face the Jindan stage head-on and was not afraid of death in the dungeon.
At this moment, he was thrown into confusion by a woman's hug.
Because he didn't know Ji Ling'er, and he didn't know what had happened.
This hug really caught him off guard.
No, what extraordinary things did the me of a thousand years ago do behind my back?
Before Lu Chen could figure out the situation, Ji Ling'er, who was lying on his shoulder, spoke first and said something that made Lu Chen sweat profusely.
"Brother Qinglian, you're coming here now... are you finally willing to marry me?"
ah?!
Lu Chen's pupils shrank and his mind went blank.
For a moment, countless classic melodramatic scenes even emerged in Lu Chen's mind.
What kind of immortal cultivator would abandon a girl after having sex with her, deceive a simple little girl, and make her swear a thousand-year vow.
Or maybe a mortal woman loves an immortal and waits for his response, and so on...
I was sweating all over. Really sweating all over!
Seeing that Lu Chen did not reply for a long time, Ji Ling'er, who was lying on his shoulder, seemed to have thought of something. She immediately let go of him, then looked face to face at Lu Chen, who had a stunned expression, and smiled sweetly.
"Hehe, Ling'er was just joking, Brother Qinglian, don't take it seriously."
Lu Chen looked at Ji Ling'er, who was a gorgeous empress before she fell asleep, and a girl next door after she woke up.
For a moment I really didn't know what to say.
The contrast between before and after is... a bit too big.
Just as Lu Chen was sweating profusely, Lan Yan, who was half-kneeling at the door of the hall, couldn't help but speak.
"Your Majesty, right now outside the Imperial Mausoleum is already..."
"Shut up."
Ji Linger turned to look at Lan Yan. Her eyes were no longer as gentle as those she had shown to Lu Chen, but rather very cold.
He seemed to dislike her sudden interruption.
In just one second, Lu Chen saw what it meant to change one's face.
I also know why Ji Ling'er could become the empress of Dayan Imperial City.
The domineering aura displayed at that moment was so strong that even Lu Chen could feel the unquestionable imperial power.
Ji Ling'er looked at the trembling Lan Yan and said coldly, "Get out and close the door."
"No one is allowed in unless I ask."
"……yes."
Lan Yan lowered her head, obediently left the hall, and closed the door.
When only Lu Chen and Ji Ling'er were left in the hall.
Ji Ling'er's cold expression disappeared immediately, and a gentle smile appeared on her exquisite and beautiful face.
That kind of tenderness seems to be able to melt people.
This made Lu Chen even more at a loss.
He originally thought he had come to an upgrade book, but now it seems... he seemed to have entered a love book!
Something is wrong. There is something wrong with this script.
Ji Ling'er didn't seem to care about Lu Chen's embarrassment, and said proudly: "Brother Qinglian, Ling'er didn't let you down, did she?"
"You said that the key to controlling subordinates is to use both kindness and power. As an emperor, you must not only make them respect you, but also make them fear you, because this is the only way to control the entire dynasty."
"Ling'er has remembered what you said casually for so many years."
"And do you still remember what Ling'er said back then?"
Huh? What did I say back then?
Lu Chen looked at Ji Ling'er's eyes that almost melted him.
I instantly felt something was wrong.
Because even though it was the first time he saw Ji Ling'er, he still felt the deep love she had for him.
And this love seems to be more than just simple love, it is also mixed with a kind of morbid possessiveness that can be seen with the naked eye.
Pressure. For the first time, Lu Chen felt an indescribable pressure.
Faced with Ji Ling'er's undisguised love, Lu Chen was really sweating profusely!
The main thing is that he really doesn't know what he said at the beginning! Isn't this... the first time we met???
PS: The next update will be before 12 o'clock.
