While he was talking, another thin eunuch walked into the room, patted his abdomen gently, bowed to Li Yun and said:
"Zuo Shi, offended."
The sound he made was very similar to Li Yun!
Unless the close relatives around you listen carefully, most people would not be able to hear it at all.
Then the man came to the bed in Li Yun's inner room, took off his shoes and clothes and lay on the bed. He carefully covered himself with a quilt and faced inside, with only the back of his head exposed. It was impossible to tell who he was.
Obviously, this is a disguise made by the White Lotus Sect, lest someone from the eunuch party come to check on the emperor and expose his flaws.
This is a good move...
Li Yun sighed in his heart, took the guard and changed it from him, and nodded to Shao Guang.
The other party immediately turned around and led the way, leading Li Yun out of the Yangxin Hall.
After leaving the Cultivation Heart Hall, the eunuchs on duty outside the hall quickly closed the door and remained faithful to their duties.
It's just that unlike the original internal prisons, these people are now guarding against the eunuchs.
Li Yun followed Shao Guang and walked all the way through the palace in the night. At this time, he suddenly discovered that there were quite a lot of trails in the palace.
Many places that I had never noticed before were actually hiding things like small passages between walls.
Soon, the two of them had arrived at the Royal Garden on one side of the palace, among the rockery and forest.
Shao Guang dodged and led Li Yun into a rockery. He pushed aside a bush and revealed a small door that only allowed one person to enter.
Said to Li Yun:
"Lord Zuo Shi, after this secret passage goes out, there will be someone outside the imperial city to help you."
With that said, he gave Li Yun a lantern.
Li Yun took the lantern, got into the small door, and walked down a few steps. Inside was a long secret passage. On the stone walls on both sides of the secret passage, there were some lamp niches dug out. When I touched it, I found that there was old oil inside, and it was almost turning into stone.
And judging from the smoothness and ancientness of the stone walls on both sides of the secret passage, it is likely that this secret passage has existed in the imperial city for many years.
It existed even before the establishment of the Wu Kingdom.
I don't know which dynasty built it, but it was later buried in history. It wasn't until the White Lotus Sect occasionally got relevant information that they made use of this secret passage.
His spiritual consciousness was released, and he moved forward quickly with a lantern. In about the time it took him to make a cup of tea, an upward step appeared in front of him.
He walked to the top of the steps, lifted the wooden board covering it, and found that there was a firewood shed outside, filled with firewood.
There is also the smell of oil smoke.
Hearing the sound, the door of the woodshed was opened, and a man dressed as a businessman quickly handed Li Yun a burqa and said:
"I have met Mr. Zuo Shi. My subordinates have been waiting for you for a long time. Please come with me."
After leaving the woodshed, this is an ordinary residential house. It looks a bit dilapidated, and it should be in the east of the city.
Walking out of the back door of the house, there was already a carriage waiting in the dark.
The wheels of the carriage and the four hooves of the horse were wrapped in cloth, and the sound was very low when walking. It seemed that the patrols of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Department had also rested tonight. Although there was a curfew in the capital, there were no people on the road. There is no trace of a person.
Or perhaps, this is the power of the White Lotus Sect.
Before this, Li Yun didn't know much about the White Lotus Sect, but now he gradually felt that the White Lotus Sect seemed to have already penetrated into the capital, like a shadow monster dormant in the dark, silently waiting to attack.
The east part of the capital is a civilian area, which is far less prosperous than the commercial area in the south and the elite area in the east.
Walking all the way east, many of the houses are relatively dilapidated. The further you go out, the more they look like shantytowns and slums.
A few blocks away from the city wall, among the low-rise houses, there was a ruined temple.
This dilapidated temple doesn't look like it has much incense. Half of the walls have collapsed. There is a faint candlelight in the main hall, and there is a shabby plaque that reads "Temple of Earth".
The carriage stopped.
The driver driving the carriage got out of the car and helped Li Yun lift the curtain, and said respectfully:
"Commander Zuo, please wait here for a moment."
Li Yun nodded, got off the carriage, and walked into the Earth Temple.
The statue of the earth god in the temple is made of clay and wood. The paint has peeled off a lot and looks very shabby. There is only an incense burner, half a sheet of bread, and a cup of residual wine on a long table.
The entire Earth Temple was silent and empty.
And this is just the appearance.
Li Yun's spiritual consciousness spread, and he discovered that among the statues of the Earth God, there were also some nooks and crannies behind the door, beams, corners, etc. of the Earth Temple. There were people hiding there at this time.
These people were all wearing plain white clothes, as if they were wearing linen and mourning. They were obviously a group of White Lotus cultists.
Moreover, all of them have martial arts skills, and they are basically at the level of fourth and fifth grades.
On the beams of the house, on the crooked-necked tree outside the door, and inside the dark temple, there were also many extremely fine silk threads laid down at this time.
There are also some places where it is obvious that there are machines that have been installed a long time ago, with spider webs and other things used for demonstration.
The leader of the White Lotus Church is preparing to play tricks on him.
Since the other party wanted to do this, he didn't bother to expose it.
Only by giving each other face can we live a decent life.
Please start your performance.
However, the White Lotus leader dared to meet him in this residential area of East City instead of choosing to meet outside the city. This only means one problem:
This area, at least this block, has been completely controlled by the White Lotus Sect!
Just as he was thinking about the ruined temple, the candle on the desk suddenly went out. The temple was dark, with only the moonlight from outside coming through.
A burst of ethereal and melodious music suddenly sounded, as if coming from a very far away place.
In this ruined temple, as well as in the courtyard, pieces of white smoke were rising, rolling on the ground, like a fairyland!
Along with it, there is a faint fragrance that wraps everything around, making people feel relaxed and happy.
In the sky, there is also rain of petals falling down, and the fallen flowers are colorful, which is really beautiful.
The music gradually became clearer, accompanied by harmonious singing, somewhat similar to the singing method of an aria:
"Hell in the world of mortals, all living beings are in pain, take pity on our world, endless worries, white lotus washes away the world, gods descend from the sky, lifeless old mother, empty hometown——"
Li Yun walked to the door of the ruined temple and looked out. He saw a huge snow-white lotus platform dozens of meters away in mid-air at a height of almost ten meters. It was supported by dozens of boys and girls in white. Down, floating down from the sky.
At this time, the surrounding mist is rising, fairy music is floating, the fragrance is filled, the petals are like rain, and the white lotus platform is like a fairyland.
On the white lotus platform, there is an old man sitting upright with a compassionate smile on his face. His sleeves are fluttering, he has an immortal spirit, and his hands are in the lotus mudra, just like an immortal coming to the world.
Lord White Lotus is here!
Li Yun secretly chewed the flower seeds, and his murderous intention was already aroused.
Why is it a man?
