Maybe now I still have a place to go - the palace.
Someone just said that besides Jun Zhi, there is only one person who can enter and exit this tower, and that is the emperor.
So if there is any secret in this tower, the emperor can't discover it completely, but he can at least know a little bit about it.
So she climbed over the heavy walls and used tracking skills to find the emperor's palace among the many palaces and courtyards.
She sneaked in and saw the white gauze curtains flying layer by layer in the palace, even though the palace had no windows and even though the palace was airtight.
When she came here, she felt that everything here was weird. Where did the wind come from? Can the veil be blown away but she can't feel it?
There was a person sitting cross-legged inside. Looking at the bright yellow suit, she guessed that this person was the emperor.
She gently peeled off the layers of gauze and walked in. She saw the emperor with disheveled hair. He was old but his face was very rosy.
The common people said that they saw the emperor's chariot and conquest in person, but she looked at the emperor's body like a dead tree. Although he was in good spirits, he did not look like he could go to the battlefield.
It would make sense if he was just giving guidance from behind.
An Yiran's eyes swept back and forth on him. He was sitting here as if he was meditating. There are beautifully decorated pill boxes scattered all over the ground.
She picked up a box and felt it, including asparagus ginseng and white tonic. No wonder the old emperor looked so rosy.
If he takes this dose, he might overdo it.
Because she was not afraid of being discovered, she boldly scanned the furnishings in the palace. The most eye-catching thing is the statue directly in front of the emperor.
Some emperors believed in Buddhism, while others did not believe in ghosts and gods. However, the statue in front of him was not a god or Buddha, but the Star-Zhaing Tower.
This wood carving can be said to be a smaller version of the Star Reaching Tower. It even had hollow patterns specially carved in it. Unless you are a master of this craft, no one would dare to take on such a thing.
However, unlike Star Reaching Tower, she said that today's Star Reaching Tower is more like a tower, and it would not be an exaggeration to change its name to Star Reaching Tower.
But this wood carving should look like it was when the Star Building was just built, because the hollows inside even look like steps and furnishings. In the past, people could go in to take a look and sit down to enjoy tea, so it is more appropriate to call it a building.
But now it looks airtight like a tower where prisoners are imprisoned and never come out, which is intimidating.
She controlled the emperor's consciousness and asked him directly: "What's the secret of Zhaixing Tower and the Imperial Master?"
As her mental pressure became more intense, she discovered that there was a black energy lingering in the old emperor's dantian.
The old emperor is actually cultivating immortality! The black mist was obviously entrenched on the old emperor's golden elixir, but the color was completely blocked, so even some powerful cultivators might not be able to detect it.
She asked the old emperor: "What's the secret between the Imperial Master and the Star-Zhaing Tower?"
The old emperor didn't speak, so she applied pressure again. As her spiritual power continued to deepen, she discovered that not only the old emperor's consciousness had been eroded to the point of almost disappearing, but the spiritual platform had also become turbid.
So she tentatively asked again, "What's the secret between the Imperial Master and Zhaixing Tower?"
Sure enough, the old emperor was affected by the black mist, his consciousness was more seriously eroded, and the spiritual platform became increasingly turbid.
He was already in the golden elixir stage, and there was absolutely no problem in living for a few springs and autumns. However, the turbid spiritual platform told him that this person was about to be in disaster.
She didn't plan to force the emperor to death yet, and let him live for a while longer.
Now there is no other option but to break into the Star Reaching Tower to find out what's going on. I originally thought I would gain something by going to the palace, but I didn't expect that this road was blocked, and I wasted my time.
She immediately flew to the Star Reaching Tower, the impatience on her face could no longer be concealed.
Although he hinted to himself that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry and that he had to be calm to handle things well, he still couldn't hold back his impatience.
There must be some faster way, but I just ignored the key.
She calculated her schedule for the day, and there was nothing too out of the ordinary. In the human world, all these actions were done step by step.
But he must have missed something. If there is a secret between the Imperial Preceptor and the Star-Zhaing Tower, who else but the emperor would know about it?
That woman is wrong! In addition to the Imperial Preceptor and the Emperor, there are still people who can enter the Star Reaching Tower, and they are the dead and injured workers! They are building and perfecting the Star Building every day. They must know the anomaly of this Star Building!
She finally caught the key point in her thoughts. It was unrealistic to figure out the tower layer by layer. She could only use this as a breakthrough.
But as she went to visit, she gradually discovered that although they were said to be dead or injured, none of the injured people returned home, but their injuries did not support their continued work.
She felt that her calves were trembling a little. Now the country is so rich that even if there are no men, they can still have enough food and clothing, so everyone forgets to be prepared for danger in times of peace. They don't even realize that their husbands and sons will never come back. coming.
If paper can't contain the fire, there must be some way to discover the secret.
She stood under the tower and looked up, and saw two people coming out from one side talking and laughing.
"Li Mao, you are really good at flattering. You are not afraid that if you accidentally slap the horse's leg when you flatter him, that adult will bury you in a fit of anger!"
"Zhang De! You have the nerve to accuse me! We are the only ones who know that adult's secret. If I die one day, how long do you think you can live? We should keep our mouths shut, at least for the rest of our lives. You don’t have to worry about prosperity and wealth!”
"Aren't you afraid at all of burying so many people?"
Li Mao patted Zhang De on the shoulder and said, "What are you afraid of? If they want to kill themselves, they shouldn't be the first to come to us, not to mention that the envoy is still alive!"
After the two of them looked around to make sure there was no one around, Zhang De whispered: "I have to admit that the divine envoy does have some magical powers, so you and I must pay more attention and don't lose our lives because of glory and wealth. , just pull away when it’s time to pull away.”
Li Mao rolled his eyes at him and said: "Are you stupid? Pull away? Tell me, how can you pull away now? You and I know his secret, do you think he can let us go? Do you think we will still be alive by then? You I am carefree and alone, but I still have a precious daughter! My daughter is still young and I absolutely cannot let anything happen to her!"
The two of them looked around again to make sure that no one was around, especially when the divine envoy was not around, and then they felt relieved. If the divine envoy was here and heard them openly discussing their secrets, their lives would definitely be in danger.
"Stop." An Yiran called them.
