The inner palace is built on a three-story Xumizuo, but each level is not high and can be climbed up in a few steps. The palace door was closed, and there was no one in front of it.
The bricks in front of the hall are paved with fine black mud bricks, which are the same type of "gold bricks" used in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Jinzhuan is very cold, especially in the mountain body. There was nothing in front of the closed palace door, only a futon.
"This is it, we can only send it here." Lu Huaiyang and Wen Yuan stopped under the Xumizuo, and only Shangluo walked up.
"Thank you." Shangluo looked back at them...for a while.
"There should be a futon on top, which His Majesty the Emperor asked to put there. He said there are still some preparations inside, so he asked you to sit on the futon for a while. We can only leave first, because we can't peek into the secret behind the door. Well, see you soon."
"See you soon."
...
Shangluo sat on the futon. He initially planned to sit upright, but his legs were sore that he had to sit sideways for a while. Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted the palace plaque.
"Um???"
He seemed to have seen that plaque somewhere.
The door suddenly opened. Someone came out of it - a young man wearing a blue Gon dragon robe stood in front of Shangluo.
He stared down at Shangluo for a long time: "Are you Shangluo?"
Shangluo stood up and straightened his appearance.
He said to the emperor: "It's me."
The moment the answer was "made", there was a "dang" sound, and the distant sound of chimes came from the door.
"It seems that you are indeed right. You will know after knocking on the chime. Then..." He took a step forward, stood side by side with Shangluo, facing the palace door, "Emperor, please give me a lecture."
[...] The old man’s voice appeared in Shangluo’s mind, occupying the same frequency band as Apollonia:
[Trained until the body looks like a crane,
【Thousands of Pine Trees and Two Letters of Scripture.
[I came to ask Wu Yu said,
[The clouds are in the blue sky and the water is in the bottle. 】
"???" Shangluo seemed to understand something, but at the same time he didn't seem to understand. He also suddenly remembered that the emperor's title for the person inside was not "Dao Ancestor" but "Emperor Ancestor".
"You can indeed hear it. The person the Emperor is looking for is you." The emperor walked up to him, "Let's confirm what the Emperor just said to you. I said the first couplet and you finished the rest. Well practiced It looks like a crane..."
"The body has been trained to look like a crane, and two scriptures are written under a thousand pines. When I came to ask, I said, the clouds are in the blue sky, and the water is in the bottle." Shangluo repeated the words of that person.
"Very good. The emperor said before that you will know who he is after listening to this poem, and there is no need to explain anything else. You understand, right?"
Shangluo nodded.
"Well, there is a greeting gift that the emperor asked me to give to you. I don't really understand what it is, but the emperor said it to you and you will understand." With that, the emperor took out a...
A jade pendant that can be flipped. The jade pendant is square in shape, about the size of a palm, and divided into two leaves that can be opened and closed up and down. After opening it, one side was as smooth as a mirror, and the other side was engraved with 9 numbers, as well as the symbols of rice and star.
"I...I probably understand, but I don't know if it's what I thought. But what does the court call it?"
"This is the sound-transmitting jade pendant used by Jin Yiwei. It was distributed 10 years ago. It's just a bit strange. Everyone else's jade pendant is all jade. I can't figure out why your jade pendant looks like this. You try your luck to activate it."
"..." Shangluo froze on the spot.
"What's wrong? Wait, are you not in your Qi training period yet?"
Shangluo nodded.
"That's not right. Then why did the emperor give you the jade token? This can only be used by Qi practitioners. Don't you need Qi to activate it to use it? Do you have any other magic weapons on you?"
【it's me. ] Apollonia's voice suddenly appeared, [I can sense that there is space for me inside. Probably on the back, there may be a cover that can be removed. Yes, right there. 】
Shangluo pushed on the back cover of the jade pendant, and the cover could indeed be removed. A circular groove is left inside the jade pendant, and the gold lines form a dense array, covering the entire space inside the back cover.
"How about you go in?"
[At this point, I have no choice. Put me in, it's not a problem to be in this little box. 】
Taking out the golden pellet, Shangluo embedded it and then closed the back cover.
"That's enough?" The emperor still didn't understand. "Then how to use it? Do you understand it?"
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be like this." He put his finger on the red phone pattern - a vibration came from the jade pendant, reflecting his touch.
The jade pendant lit up. There are blue sky and white clouds with checkerboard-like squares on it, and each square has a different pattern. There are icons of Go, abacus, notebook and phone, with a chat bubble in the center.
"Damn it!" The emperor was surprised, "You don't need luck to use this jade token, and you can actually see the picture directly with the naked eye? You are a high-end product!"
He also took out a jade plaque from his pocket, pressed it a few times and shouted to the jade plaque:
"Emperor! I want one too! His one is much easier to use!"
Like a stone dropped into a deep pool, there is no echo in the void.
"Tch, stingy. So, Shangluo, is this your name? I'll add your Fetion. You open the middle one." As he spoke, he clicked on his jade plaque with his eyes straight. Looking ahead.
"Wait a minute! This... Your Majesty the Emperor, does that jade plaque in your hand have the same image as mine?"
"Yeah, but it's very troublesome. You have to put all your consciousness on it to see it. You can only use one finger to poke around, and typing is too slow. You actually have physical buttons, which is really useful. "
"Does every Jin Yiwei have one?" Shangluo suddenly remembered that Wen Yuan seemed to have mentioned to him yesterday that there was a "convenient" way of sending messages between Jin Yiwei.
"Well, every Qigong practitioner has it. Qigong practitioners use it to communicate with each other, otherwise it will be troublesome. We are usually very busy and have no time to call each other. So just send Fetion - although you It’s not the Qi training period, but you can still get in touch if you have this. Emperor Ancestor said you actually know how to use it? You don’t need me to teach you. Then you open the Fetion in the middle and I’ll add you to the group... Hey, why do you already have it? A contact? Who is Apollonia? Have you logged in before?"
"Ah...it seems to be there. It seems to have logged in."
"That's easy. I just sent you an invitation and pulled you into the Nan Town Jinyiwei group. Well, okay, that's it."
The emperor put away the jade tablet and said, "You can go back, I have something to do."
"This...is it over? Doesn't Daozu want to talk to me?"
"That's all. 'Clouds are in the blue sky and water is in bottles'. Daozu said that you will understand after listening to it - anyway, I didn't understand. Probably Daozu will wait for you to understand what he means before he will explain important things to you. You. He has always been like this, you know. If you have any problems in the future, you can come to me. Now it seems that you and a few people in the foundation period have directly added my Fetion, for both business and private matters. Besides, you don’t have to go to so much trouble next time. If you have any questions, I can just send you Fetion directly, please be careful to collect it."
