Chen Mo looked at the corpse in the coffin. From height to appearance, it was the same as the emperor he had seen before.
However, the aura revealed was different, which showed that the corpse practiced different techniques during its lifetime than today's emperor.
In addition, Chen Mo used his blood energy to comb his body and could vaguely detect signs of disguise.
This sign is extremely subtle. If Chen Mo hadn't cultivated the Xuanhuang Immortal Body, and his physical body's sense of blood and energy was far superior to that of warriors of the same realm, he might not even have been able to detect this.
Based on all these factors, Chen Mo can be 100% sure that the corpse in front of him is definitely not that of today's emperor.
So if the emperor's body is not here today, then where is he? Is he dead, or is he hiding in the dark and watching all this!
Chen Mo is completely unsure about this. All he can do now is to wait, and the other is to find ways to find those innate experts and get more information from them.
It was indeed inappropriate for him to leave the Ancestral Temple rashly now, but that didn't mean that he couldn't have someone go on his behalf.
Try your best to find those innately strong people and make contact with them.
If that doesn't work, just wait.
As long as I am still alive today, I will definitely show up before the national mourning ends.
Otherwise, if he shows up after the new emperor ascends the throne, he will have no choice but to become the Supreme Emperor.
Staying unchanged in response to all changes is the best choice for you at the moment.
After carefully examining the body, Chen Mo used his true energy to seal the coffin, and then strode out of the Ancestral Temple, nodding slightly to Empress Xu who was having a vegetarian meal beside her.
Empress Xu was having a meal with many concubines and princes and princesses. When she saw Chen Mo walking out, she slowly stopped.
Seeing that she stopped moving her chopsticks, the remaining concubines stopped immediately regardless of whether they were full or not.
Queen Xu stood up and walked into the Ancestral Temple to continue to keep vigil for the emperor.
More than a dozen palace maids and eunuchs from the imperial dining room cleaned the place again.
"General Chen." Two Yulin guards hurried over, each carrying a large package in their hands. "Your wife, Zhao Yu, just arrived in front of the palace gate and asked us to deliver these things to you."
"Oh!" Chen Mo was slightly surprised, but then he thought about it and it was normal.
He didn't have much cover when he entered the city this time, and there was a lot of noise. Zhao Yu must know that he was in the palace by now.
Although she has a royal decree, she cannot enter the palace without being summoned.
But asking someone to help send something to Chen Mo is not an overstep of the rules.
Chen Mo was not worried about her safety. Unless King Ping Xi was crazy, it would be impossible for him to take action against her now.
If he really does this, he will break the rules, and all the civil and military officials in the court will unite against him.
In the final analysis, King Pingxi currently only wants to seek power and usurp the throne, not directly rebel.
Moreover, even when seeking power and usurping the throne, he used a relatively mild method, so he had to consider the thoughts of civil and military officials.
After all, now that he can directly attack Chen Mo's wife and children, will he attack his own wife and children in time?
This is something all officials will consider.
And Chen Mo, as an innate strong man, is a deterrent in himself.
Before taking action against his relatives, King Pingxi must first consider whether he can withstand the anger and long-term pursuit of an innately strong man.
Moreover, this innate strong man is still very young now, and his cultivation will definitely improve in the future.
In addition, the most important point is that the significance and value of taking action against Zhao Yu is not very great.
On the contrary, Chen Mo will completely fall to the side of the queen and the prince and spare no effort to deal with him.
As long as King Pingxi is not a fool, he will never do such a stupid thing.
At least he won't do it now, because he hasn't reached the dead end yet, but the further he goes, the harder it will be to say.
So Chen Mo was also thinking about whether to bring Zhao Yu to him in the next two days or let her find a safer place to hide first.
Chen Mo took the package and took out broken silver to reward the two Yulin guards. Then he took the package and walked to the leeward side of the Ancestral Temple.
One of the packages contained a large sheepskin cloak (chang), which was worn on the body at night to keep out the cold.
It's autumn and winter now, and the night breeze is so strong that wearing more clothes will keep you much warmer.
Even within the palace city, not all palaces have formations that can keep the temperature constant.
This type of formation is quite expensive to set up and has certain requirements on the power of heaven and earth.
In addition, Taizu Taizong of Daqian advocated frugality when he first founded the country, so this type of formation was only deployed in a small number of places even in the palace.
In another package, there were burritos wrapped in three layers of oil paper. Each one weighed almost two kilograms, and there were seven or eight in total. They were still warm at this time.
The pancakes were filled with braised pork. The meat was so simmered that it almost melted in your mouth.
Because it had been left for a while, a lot of meat juice had gradually seeped into the cake, so Zhao Yu also added some fried vegetables and shredded green peppers and potatoes to relieve the greasiness.
During the vigil, many princes and concubines are not allowed to eat meat and fish, and must stay safe to guard the emperor's vigil.
However, the rule of not eating meat and fish does not restrict other people in the palace.
Otherwise, it’s hard to say whether Habayashi Wei would be able to pick up weapons if he didn’t eat meat for more than a month.
Chen Mo sat on the floor, wearing a newly made sheepskin cloak. He quickly ate all the burritos, and drank some water from the storage bag.
He took a handkerchief and slowly wiped his mouth before walking out of the leeward alley.
Nowadays, the sky is gradually getting dark, the sun is setting at dusk, and the setting sun is like blood.
The Yulin Guards began to change their defenses. One group of people went to rest, and another group of people were replaced to protect the place.
Chen Mo recruited Yu Linlang and took out the pass token that the emperor had given him from his arms.
“This token can be used to enter and exit the Wanfa Building at will without any restrictions.
I have to stay in the Ancestral Temple now and cannot move around at will. Take this token and go to the top floor of Wanfa Building to see if you can ask the innate powerhouse enshrined by the imperial court to come forward.
If other strong men are seriously injured and unwilling to show up, then you should find a senior named Chu Tianxiu. "
As Chen Mo spoke, he not only handed over the token, but also shot out a stream of his own Qi, attaching it to the token.
He had to let those innate strong men worshiped by the court know that he was also an innate strong man, so that they could show up to discuss with him.
Feeling the innate true energy on the token, he already knew that Chen Mo was an innate strong man.
But Yu Linlang still couldn't help but be surprised at this time. He really couldn't figure out how Chen Mo, at such a young age, managed to break through and become an innate powerhouse.
He was able to practice all the way to perfection, so he was naturally quite talented. He had been praised for his genius since he was a child.
However, this genius has to be compared with someone, and compared with Chen Mo, he is a bit insignificant.
I am nearly forty years old and still have acquired perfection, and I don’t know if I will ever have the opportunity to touch the innate realm in this life.
And Chen Mo is now a strong man in the innate realm. The most important thing is that he is still so young.
Such qualifications can be said to be unparalleled. He didn't even think about comparing himself with the other person, because the gap was too big. If he wanted to compare with him, he would undoubtedly be humiliating himself.
"I understand." Mr. Yu Linlang took the token and bowed in salute.
"Wait until night before going, and be careful in everything." Chen Mo warned cautiously.
Without saying a word, Habayashi nodded gently and carefully put away the token.
Of course, he also knew that this matter was by no means easy, but if he could accomplish it, it would be a great achievement, and he might be able to further his title.
Once his official position reaches his level, it is very difficult to rise further. At most, he will be promoted to half a rank.
Now all he wants is to be granted a title, and this is the real thing.
The connections and connections gained from one's officialdom can only be used by one's own children and grandchildren at best, and will not be of much use after that.
The title can be passed down to one's family for a long time. Even if one dies, the title can still protect his children and grandchildren.
Therefore, the higher the title, the better.
Time passed and the sky soon became completely dark. Habayashi Lang quietly left the palace and headed straight for the inner city.
Chen Mo walked into the Ancestral Temple. Many princes and princesses were already drowsy at this moment.
The Ancestral Temple is spacious enough. Although there is no bedding, I can still sleep on the floor in the latter half of the night.
If he really had to guard all night and for seventy-seven forty-nine days, except for a few warriors, few people would be able to endure it for such a long time.
At night, the temperature naturally dropped.
Many of the concubines were okay, as they had some martial arts skills.
And those princes and princesses had no choice but to huddle up.
"Your Highness, please wear it to keep yourself warm." Chen Mo took off his cloak and put it on Zhao Renmin.
"Thank you, General Chen." Zhao Renmin said, tightly wrapping his warm cloak around his body.
"When I ascend the throne, I will make you a general." He said this very seriously. General is the highest official position he knows.
Chen Mo smiled but didn't take these words to heart.
Even if Zhao Renmin ascends the throne, the power will not be in his hands for the time being. If he expects him to make him a general, he might as well expect Queen Xu.
What's more, the official position of general is only used after death, because this official position really has the power to control the world's troops.
It would be very abnormal if someone was really alive to hold this power. It could even be said that the leader overpowers the weak and the minister is strong.
Zhao Renmin wore a big cloak and asked his younger brothers and sisters to huddle together so that they could stay warmer.
Although this was considered disrespectful, no one would be stupid enough to say so even if the queen didn't say it.
Chen Mo patrolled around the Ancestral Temple again to ensure that everything was safe, then found a place to wait quietly.
Until late at night, a figure quietly appeared outside the palace city, and Chen Mo sensed his presence almost instantly.
The person who came was none other than Lang Habayashi.
His steps were hurried, his figure was extremely fast, and he burst out at all speed.
"Sir, I went to see the innate experts in Wanfa Tower, and among them there was indeed a senior Chu Tianxiu Chu.
But that senior has important matters and must stay in Wanfa Building, so he cannot leave. Let me hand over this talisman to you immediately. After you activate it, you can talk to him through the air. "
Yu Linlang held a jade talisman in his hand, as well as the Wanfa Tower pass token that Chen Mo had given him previously.
Putting away the token and taking the talisman, Chen Mo walked to the empty martial arts temple next to the Ancestral Temple and circulated his true energy to activate the talisman.
A special mysterious power circulated in the talisman, and Chen Mo could clearly feel that his spiritual thoughts were being mobilized.
He did not resist this process, but he also did not send all his spiritual thoughts into the talisman as quickly as possible.
First use every strand of spiritual thought to explore the path to ensure the safety of this process.
This power was like a ghost, and Chen Mo's spiritual thoughts gradually entered it.
At first, everything around him was confused, but soon it stabilized, and a small courtyard with simple decoration appeared in front of him.
Chu Tianxiu was still wearing a red robe as before, standing quietly in the courtyard. Seeing Chen Mo coming, he was too busy to ask, "Have you broken through the innate cultivation level?"
He really couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought about this.
Chen Mo is very talented and very strong. These are all things he knows, and he also knows that he has had adventures.
But he still didn't expect that Chen Mo could break through his innate cultivation so quickly. This talent was a bit too scary.
Originally, he thought that Chen Mo had no chance, or even a slim chance of breaking through to the realm of heaven and man.
But now that he saw Chen Mo's talent, he suddenly felt that this slim chance was a little bigger and no longer as slim as before.
A Xiantian realm warrior in his twenties, looking at the world today, there has never been such a person in history.
And Chen Mo did it. Since he can do something that no one before him has ever done, it is not impossible to break through the realm of heaven and man.
That's why Chu Tianxiu was so eager to question Chen Mo and learn from him whether he had really broken through the innate realm.
Nothing else matters compared to this.
Even if there are people who seek to usurp the throne and rebel, it is still a trivial matter compared to this matter.
Only if a strong person in the realm of heaven and man appears, their world can continue, otherwise everything will be a passing thing after a hundred years.
"Of course, this junior has reached the innate realm now." Chen Mo looked indifferent and smiled, without any concealment of his own strength.
