sword sentient beings

Chapter 857 Palace

Tang Zhao entered the sword formation with a swagger.

Unlike Changle, Changle fell into a very deep "hidden" state, relying on the effect of vows to pull it out little by little, and reintegrate with the world, which requires a process, but Tang Zhao completed his vows and gained liberation the moment he met and recognized Changle. Just like the vow of becoming a Buddha, after completing it, the sky will be full of flowers, the ground will be full of golden lotus, and you will become a Buddha right away, instead of waiting for a long time and becoming a Buddha little by little. That would be too shameless. So he got out of the disappearing state directly and returned to normal. People related to him, no matter how far away they are, will immediately remember all the past events about him.

Therefore, Tang Zhao could use the disappearance again to hide and sneak in perfectly without worrying about the sequelae. However, this disappearance is not only useful for enemies, but also for his own people. Sometimes it delays things. Moreover, Wei Changle has not yet recovered. As the anchor of the world, Tang Zhao is risky to disappear rashly. So he chose not to use it.

Besides, Tang Zhao didn't think it was necessary. After this trip, he broke through that realm. After his strength and glasses were both improved, his strength had reached a considerable level. It can be said that he was also a top figure in the Sword Court. What else can he say in the human world? He thought that even if he didn't use any means to sneak in, but "sneaked in" as an assassin in broad daylight, he would not encounter any obstacles.

The reason why Tang Zhao was willing to hide for a while was that he wanted to see who dared to make trouble under the nose of the governor of Yunzhou, and to find out the details behind it. You know, Gao Yuanhou had just arrived, and someone bullied him. Is this bullying an orphan and a widow? Even Tang Zhao felt that he was bullied. He must get to the bottom of this matter and uproot the people behind him. As the saying goes, one punch is enough to prevent a hundred punches. At this critical moment of power transition, no one must be allowed to covet it. The first person who reached out must be defeated and made public for everyone to see, so as to kill the chicken to scare the monkey and make other forces that are ready to move completely extinguish their thoughts.

So when Tang Zhao went in, he just used his swordsmanship to cover up a little. In the past, he had the swordsmanship of bending light, which made it invisible to people, but it could only hide it from passers-by who didn't pay attention. It was too easy for anyone who paid attention to it to find out. When he reached the realm of sword immortal, he could create swordsmanship at will. He upgraded the swordsmanship of bending light and changed it to a swordsmanship of "walking against the light". It also had a hiding effect and was much stronger than bending light, but it could never be said to be a very powerful invisibility method. The general meaning of his use was, "I came in, I hid, what else do you want? If you don't pretend not to see it and still recognize it, it would be too shameless."

If you are discovered, then you are discovered. It's just bad luck.

Tang Zhao slipped in from a corner of the sword formation and took a quick look inside—it was indeed a cemetery.

The dark tomb, the flickering will-o'-the-wisps in the middle of the tomb, and the gravekeeper's hut were all exactly the same as those seen outside. The only difference was that a huge palace was built in the middle of the tomb.

Crazy?

  An idea came to Tang Zhao's mind: He could understand that in order to build a base, some practical, durable and even comfortable houses would be built, but who would build such a temporary residence into a palace?

This palace is magnificent with carved railings and jade bricks. Although it only has the main hall, it is no worse than the imperial palace Tang Zhao saw in the capital. Every detail conforms to royal regulations. Even with the skills of a swordsman, it probably could not have been built in a day. I wonder how extravagant they must have been to build a palace of this standard in a place that might be demolished tomorrow.

Tang Zhao thought that even if the person in the capital city had mastered the little emperor's tour, he would not require every palace to be built to this level, let alone temporary construction. Who is more dignified than the emperor...

Tang Zhao suddenly had an idea and thought to himself: Wait, maybe it's the emperor? Another emperor.

There is only one emperor recognized by everyone in the world, but there are more than one who consider themselves emperor.

For example, the Emperor of Wei.

Tang Zhao frowned. If it was really that dog...that turtle emperor would be troublesome. It wasn’t the emperor himself that was troublesome, but Tang Zhao remembered an old friend.

No...more than one.

Tang Zhao thought about it and hid more seriously. He remembered that although he had few rivals in the world, there seemed to be someone among the old friends in the turtle bandits who was really worthy of a fight. I just wonder what level he is at now?

Apart from the palace, there are no obvious buildings in the entire cemetery. But if you look closely, those tombs seem to be no longer the original tombs, but portals, which must be connected to underground buildings.

Tang Zhao was unhappy and thought to himself: Could they have dug up other people's graves and turned them into their own shelters? That would be too immoral. But the turtle pirates were capable of such a thing.

Then he thought of the fact that there was a special unit in the Guikou spiritual system that specialized in manipulating skeletons. He had learned it before and it was very disgusting. Maybe the corpses would not be wasted after the graves were dug out. Could it be that the skeleton siege was coming again?

The siege of bones would certainly not cause any damage to Zhongtian Prefecture, which was full of experts, but if the people in the city knew that their parents and ancestors had their graves dug up, it might seriously undermine people's morale. Tang Zhao became angrier and angrier as he thought about it, and he went straight to the main hall.

The moment he stepped onto the steps, Tang Zhao suddenly had an idea and restrained his breath again, even using other hidden sword techniques - that is, Ling Baoyu's curiosity hiding. Because he suddenly felt a sense of awe, that was the strong power on his side and the vigilance that rose automatically, he realized that this hall was not built temporarily, it might be a sword elephant.

No... it's not a sword elephant. Tang Zhaolue weighed it for a moment, noticed the subtle difference, and overturned his answer.

It may be some kind of existence that arises after the spiritual official has reached an incredible height on this path. It is similar to sword power, but there are still some differences.

In short, the owner of this hall is... or at least was once an extraordinary powerful person.

Tang Zhao had this preparation, but he felt a little strange. If this place was really created by the "emperor" of the turtle bandits, and he had the power comparable to that of a sword immortal, then why was he still dormant? At least in the previous decades, the emperor of the Great Jin could only hide in the capital under the protection of the national teacher, and the power of the national teacher could not leave the capital, and the outside world was completely out of control. If the turtle bandits had such a strong man in charge, they could also openly raise the flag, mark a piece of land, and divide the north and south, and have two emperors in the east and west, right? Why should they secretly demand themselves to act according to the standards of anti-thieves?

Oh, right, Imperial Master...

  Could it be another national teacher?

If this is the case, then the turtle pirates really invested a lot of money and even moved the national teacher and the "capital" to Yunzhou.

When Tang Zhao entered the hall, he saw the spacious and magnificent space inside. When Tang Zhao was in the capital, he had been to the emperor's "Taiyuan Hall" once. It can be said that the outside is more magnificent and grand than this hall, but the feeling inside is completely inferior. In this hall, there is a natural feeling of "solemnity" and "sacredness". Tang Zhao has also seen this feeling. It was the sacred feeling when the emperor and the royal family activated the Taizu's blessing aura in the capital. It can only be said that the idea of ​​creating power and shaping one's own majesty is similar for the emperors of the world.

Tang Zhao only objectively felt the existence of this "sacred" thing, but he himself was not affected. So he looked inside the hall which seemed particularly deep and deep, and saw the man on the dragon throne.

The man was wearing a flat crown and a dragon robe, which was indeed the standard attire of an emperor, even a little too formal. Even the emperor would only dress like this during court meetings and sacrifices. He would not dress so fully when meeting important officials in other halls, because the clothes were very heavy and rigid, and very uncomfortable to wear on ordinary days. At this time, there was only that person in the hall, and he did not sit upright according to the etiquette of the court, but leaned on the dragon chair, resting his chin on his hand and taking a nap.

He looked to be around 40 or 50 years old, and his whole body was filled with the fatigue of a middle-aged man, as if he had just finished a day's work and had finally found a break in his busy schedule to lean against a big tree for a short rest. However, this rest seemed very uneasy, with his brows furrowed. I wonder if he had encountered some troubles in his dream.

  Tang Zhao looked at him and had a thought: Why does it seem like being an emperor is a very hard job? But those people in the capital, this king and that king, are fighting desperately for the throne, and even the emperor himself is using all means to seize power, and he doesn't seem tired at all. Is this the difference between young people and middle-aged people?

Thinking about this, Tang Zhao took a picture of this person on the photo stone as evidence that the turtle emperor had visited here. I don't know if there is a picture of this mysterious turtle supreme ruler in the outside world. If not, this is the first one, and it is also quite valuable information.

  However, it is not right for the emperor to keep napping like this, right? They should be taking action tomorrow, shouldn't there be a lot of things to do the night before the action? As a leader in name only, shouldn't the emperor be busy and excited? Even if he wants to conserve his energy, he should go to bed and have a good rest so that he can be energetic tomorrow, right? What's the point of napping here in the middle of the night?

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard footsteps.

The footsteps were made deliberately because the person wanted to remind the person on the throne that he was coming. Following the footsteps, Tang Zhao saw an old friend.

He was an elderly man with gray hair and a slightly hunched back. He looked old indeed, but still had a dignified bearing, elegant manners, and a scholarly air. He was wearing the purple official uniform of the Former Wei Dynasty, and it was obvious at a glance that he was an official of the top rank.

Tang Zhao had seen this man before in Wangliang Mountain. At that time, his hair was not so white, and his back was not hunched at all. He looked more than ten years younger than he is now. Even though he had aged so much, Tang Zhao could still recognize him at a glance. This was the top strongman in the Guikou court, one of the most powerful people - the Grand Chancellor!
